The white screen of death has struck again --- this time on my Kubuntu 12.04 system.
I ran a customary aptitude safe-upgrade; aptitude full-upgrade this morning but shut down the system to go out for several hours. When I restarted the system, the white screen struck. I don't recall any of this morning's upgrades affecting video or kde basic components.
Other issues in life have kept me gainfully occupied the last two years and my Linux geekery isn't what it used to be.
So far, all I have tried is to move the existing ~/.kde configuration into a cool, dry place in case something there had been corrupted. But that is not the problem.
I recognize that I am providing precious little information, but will gladly follow up any suggestions for testing so that I can trace this problem.
