I've installed the Beta 3 version of F22 KDE Live in a VirtualBox
VM.
This was a clean install, i.e. get a fresh VM, boot the Live CD image,
then install to disk by clicking on the button. My host machine is F21
has plenty of horsepower and an NVidia graphics card under the
proprietary driver. I also installed the VBox Guest Additions and ran
"dnf update" in the guest.
After logging in, the resulting Plasma DE is unusable. Panel menus pop
up but windows don't appear on the desktop; in fact nothing appears
there except the root background.
Other Fedora installations (F21 Workstation) work correctly in the same
setup.
Since this is KDE specific I thought I'd ask here before taking it to
the Test list.
The last F22 KDE test I did in VM (KVM) was probably Alpha RC3
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_jam/Test_Results:Fedora_22 (Jam
is based on the KDE spin and uses Plasma). At which time it worked
okay. Either an issue with your VM or a new bug. I could try this
evening with KVM. Do you have virtualisation extensions turned on in
hardware? That bit me after a recent motherboard change.
Further to Ed Greshko's question, was it okay on login after
installing and only failed after reboot following update?
