Public bug reported:
When I boot in Kubuntu 11.10, the graphic interface for logging in does not
appear.
Instead I am presented with the text login.
After I log in, I try to do (as root):
service kdm restart
but the problem remains, no graphic interface.
Then, I have to stop kdm with:
service kdm stop
and then start the X server with
startx
The graphic interface appears (the KDE desktop) and I can work normally.
However everything in KDE runs as root from that point on, including
firefox, etc. which is quite unsafe.
Please let me know how I can fix this.
