According to bug #523187, apparently the splashy package was preventing invoke-rc.d from being able to stop/start packages. Once I purged splashy, mysql-server-5.0, hal, and all the other recalcitrant packages installed.
Now KDM balks at startup occasionally. If I can get it to a shell prompt I can use the `startx' command and once I exit KDE4, then KDM will start. Go figure. At least I'm now at a place where I can work again. Just from the first few minutes, the desktop response seems faster than Kubuntu 9.04. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
