I tried to update my kubuntu 10.10 (the official ver. with kde 4.5.1) to kde 4.5.3 (the current kde version) through the ppa (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu maverick main AND deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu maverick main) on two hard drives on my home computer. On the first one the update (kde 4.5.1 → kde 4.5.3) was successful.On the second one (on the same computer) the update seemed to be flawless. But when the kdm asked for the user account, I typed in the user name and the password. The kdm begun to load the kde settings and I get into a black screen, but mouse cursor was still active. Really it is very weird. How this could happen on the same computer?. Any clue. Thanks a bunch.

Remark: How can people just use the next recommended steps to solve such issues if you use wifi devices (first you have to establish the network connection within the console):
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
sudo rm -rf /tmp/kde*
sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/kdecache*
Thanks again.
