Bug#590336: Black desktop with plasma-netbook
Package: plasma-netbook
Version: 4:4.4.4-1
Reference: Bug No. #584905
The bug #584905
"plasma-netbook doesn't auto-start on a fresh install"
still exists.
plasma-netbook still doesn't start automatically in a fresh debian
squeeze/testing installation. After login one see a black screen with a mouse
cursor.
The startup method described as a solution for bug #584905, which selects
plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook for startup, need both packages being
installed.
It doesn't work, if plasma-netbook is installed alone.
Suggestions:
/usr/share/autostart/plasma-netbook.desktop
should be created and a dual installation of both, plasma-desktop and plasma-
netbook, should be prevented by package-management.
Alternatively, a package dependency should be created, so that plasma-netbook
depends on plasma-desktop and both being installed if plasma-netbook is
selected.
In this case, there should be an configuration option to start the one or the
other on users choice.
Kind Regards
Matthias Faulstich
