I should have explained further that the X session I am able to log into is by startx with .xinitrc aimed at fluxbox. >>> 2/ If you can login with your usual account but things are completely >>> messed up, try to create a fresh new user and login with it. Not into kde... only into console now. On reboot I find I am not presented with a gui login. Only the console. I find some very oddness in install of kdm. After install of kdm I see dpkg -L kdm|grep bin There is now executable being installed. And yet apt-file search /usr/bin/kdm (reports:) kdm: /usr/bin/kdmctl kdm: /usr/bin/kdm And further the script in /etc/init.d/kdm looks for that executable. So at this point service kdm start reports back nothing but: service kdm status says: kdm is not running ... failed! Little wonder since there is no executable. I tried `aptitude reinstall kdm' Only to find it is not installed. This is very confusing. It would seem that installing kdm-full would at least install the display manager. Further it would seem the dpkg -L kdm would not list files if kdm were not installed. So I am now installing kdm I'm sure things will change with an actual display manager in tow. I'm rebooting now and see what happens. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
