can't log in - plasma-desktop problems

[kroolik]

I have just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 and I'm not happy about it
The logging screen loads ok and after I enter password it tries to open the session but stops and gets back to... logging screen. What's interesting - after this trial I can't change to text-console (Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't work - goes back to logging screen), although when I don't try to log in, I am able to switch to the console.

I've checked .xsession-errors and I get some errors from kdeinit4, like:

 plasma-desktop: cannot connect to X server :0

Also, when I switch to text-console, there is a message:

 chroot: cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initramfs: No such file or directory

Can anybody help?

Re: can't log in - plasma-desktop problems

Couple of points:

How did you upgrade (internet, using alternate cd as an upgrade source, or with a fresh install but retained home)?

Do you know the version number of kde you were running in karmic?

There are a couple of things you can try:

Ensure you have a wired connection then boot into recovery mode, from the command prompt update everything with

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo apt-get dist-uograde

Once everything is updated type

startx

What happens then? Do you get a desktop? If not please post the error message. If successful, try a reboot and login as normal user.

Any joy?

[SOLVED] can't log in - plasma-desktop problems

thank you for a quick reply but I have already fixed this - it appeared that my grub list hasn't been updated while updating the system (don't know why), so I had to do it manually and it works!
good day to you!
