Step to cure: 1 - when KDM hangs, press CTRL+ALT+1 (go to console tty1) 2 - login as root 3 - apt-get install --reinstall --purge kdm There must be something stale in kdm rc files. -- KDM skips login screen and hangs while trying to load KDE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
