I get this same kind of error. From a cold start the system will crash and shutdown. If i hit the power button again to give it another go it will load, but with the "Error KDE Panel : The process for the system protocol died unexpectedly." message. When I get the message the System Menu will be empty and my Hard disk will not show up on the desktop.
It always happens in pairs like this too. Start up, crash, start up, error message. The only thing I could think is that I recently installed Adobe FLash Player via command line. -- Error KDE Panel : The process for the system protocol died unexpectedly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
