Hardy stops during boot after KDM

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

Yeah, really. I blew away the wrong partition already once this week.

It was libpam-foreground that lets you see the ksmserver error. I just did this to fix up my KDE:

apt-get remove language-pack-kde-en-base language-pack-kde-en

If you want, that other thread gives you some versions to roll back too.

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

I'm gonna do a dist-upgrade to HH again here. lol what am I getting myself into? And then I'll try to roll back these langauge packs. I actually miss now nice my printer worked with HH... and I want KDE4 again (which breaks audio on Gutsy for me)

Oh ya... you tell me AFTER I do it! lol

Actually I'm into KDE3 in HH right now. I wasn't able to install the language packs suggested but simply removing them seems to have allowed me to get into my desktop.

Wasn't expecting to loose Firefox 2 though.. I used FireFTP daily... and that doesn't work with FF3.. boo.

Going to look around and then try putting KDE4 on.

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

Mine is fine, now that I manually installed the Nvidia driver. nvidia-glx-new is hosed.

I went ahead and installed FF 3, and it's fine except for Flash and the occasional image problem. I like the looks of it, actually.

I'm considering trying to install the driver like you said. But I'm enjoying my system working right now. hehe

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

yep after removing the language packs, it finally boots in. I did this on both my laptop and my friend's and they both work now.

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

All of a sudden, I installed the flashplugin-nonfree package and flash is now working in Firefox 3! I dunno what changed, but I like it!

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

FF3 32 Bit is using flash with no issues over here. But it sure is ugly in KDE4 lol

If you're referring to that blue faux-paisely stuff, yeah, I agree totally. I had to make a quick trip to the KDE download site and get something cleaner -- you can see my choice in the Gallery screenshot.

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

FF 3 looks ok in KDE3 but in KDE4 it looks like I'm back in the 90's

www.kde-look.org had a GTK+ for KDE4 that I might install

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

Did anybody else have problems logging into hardy kde4 after today's updates ( monday feb. 18th) ? After logging in, system services initialization starts, but then returns to the login manager. Also the later upgrades with update-manager-core and python-apt give the following error when running apt-get upgrade:

The following packages will be upgraded:
python-apt update-manager-core

P.S. Logging in to kde3 is no problem since removing the two language packages that people recommended earlier in this thread. It's just kde4 that does not want to start.

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

yup... mine doesn't go back to KDM.. instead it flashes all kinds of symbols on the screen and just hangs there....

Sigh.. I was so happy to have my system working to.....

Re: Hardy stops during boot after KDM

yup -- same here. KDE4 gets to the hard drive icon, then hiccups and back to the login GUI. Reinstalled the Nvidia driver, doesn't matter.

Hello, KDE 3.5!

Hello, KDE 3.5!

It's all tears in Kubuntuville as all the little Koohs sit by the light of their screens wondering if they'll be stuck in KDE3 long enough to go through the trouble of making it pretty or not...




hehe.

At least KDE3 still works.. cause if I had to reinstall again I would honestly have to give another Distro a try.
