Help - I cannot start kdm / kde
Hi, I'm a newbie with Debian Sarge. I recently made updates with aptitude, and now my KDE won't start!
Startup goes normal until it runs KDM. Instead of going to the graphic login page, I get a text login and password request. I can login with my user name or as root, but I cannot run the KDE desktop.
I've tried
# /etc/init.d/kdm start
And other instructions suggested in other pages, but it does not work. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to solve it? Thanks!
That is more likely a problem with the X server.
Can you try logging in on the console and run
#> startx /usr/bin/startkde
Cheers,
