I went to boot Kubuntu and I can get to the log in screen, but when I hit enter to boot Kubuntu ( into KDE) the splash screen is all that displays and the boot icons do not show up and it stops booting. Any ideas?

Re: Won't boot
You have to give us more to go on. Tell us about your PC. Tell us about your Graphics card. Is this a new install or an upgrade?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Won't boot
Was there a kernel update (that you remember)? Do you have more than one kernel version on the Grub menu? If yes, does the earlier kernel result in a full boot/log in to the Desktop?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Won't boot
Huh? You said you have a Nvidia GeForce 6150 video card, so why would you be using xserver-xorg-video-intel? You should be using the custom built nVidia xorg file, yes?Originally posted by fiby6Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Won't boot
To be clear, you do get the KDM login screen, where you type in your password? Instead, when at the KDM Log in screen, log in to a tty session. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1. Once logged in, type:
Report back.Code:startx

Re: Won't boot
My guess is that something went wrong with your KDE update and removed your plasma desktop. Happened to me, I believe it masy be because I went straight from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3
Make sure you are connected to the net and do a terminal login.
TypeReturn and enter password.Code:sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop
What happens?Comment
