KDE 4 and KDE 4.1 in Kubuntu

While running Hardy (8.04) I installed the RC for KDE 4. When I upgraded to 8.10 I found I had a problem when I tried to <LEAVE> <LOGOUT>. The GUI would go to a text display and the following lines are always the last.

Source code

 
1

3

Not Starting K Display Manager (kdm-kde4); it is not the default display manager

Starting TiMidity ALSA midi emmulator.....[OK]


I seem to have parts of both on installed. How do I get my system back to normal without a complete system reinstall?

Try reconfiguring KDM:
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm"

See if that fixes it.

I have tried that already. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there a way to determine which version of KDE I am running in the current session?

I don't know about a nifty command line callout, but if you open "konqueror" and go to "help" you can click "About KDE" that should give you the KDE version.

Funnily enough, I had the opposite problem when I installed KDE4 alongside KDE3 on older Kubuntu releases - even though I didn't want it to, it started defaulting to kdm-kde4. The answer is to edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and replace it with the path to the kdm-kde4 binary.
