I did a dist-upgrade this morning, and now my initial KDE screen comes up with an OK background but a black box where the user login should be. I can figure out where the text input boxes are for logging, but when I log in the desktop shows my wallpaper with some icons scattered around and that's it. Nothing happen if I click on icons, or rt-click, or left-click.
I'm using 'unstable' on a IBM Thinkpad T20. The new KDE worked fine 'til today. A big guess is that when a config screen came up saying something like "if you want better rendering on your display, click yes" I selected yes and caused all this - but I can't find where to undo that selection. I've reinstalled KDE (3.1), KDM, xserver* and reconfig'd just about every package. No luck. Now I'm saving my files to try and reinstall OS. Is there a log of what was done in the latest dist-upgrade so that I can see what was upgraded this morning? In all the reinstalling, I did an apt-get clean so I don't have cached packages. Probably dumb, but I'm getting a little desparate. Please help with any info you can. Thanks Marsha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
