What display manager are you using? gdm, sddm, other?
Thanks Ed. I think I'm using gdm for my display manager. I've forgotten
the command to find out because I don't use it regularly. Just a bit of
additional information, after the last update nothing has changed and
when the plasma start fails I tried to use alt-F2 to get to a login
prompt to look at the Xorg log file but krunner also fails so it won't
swap. All of the apps that are failing are all failing with a
Segmentation Fault. I'll reply to Rex's thread but I am using Vmware
Player to run Fedora.
