Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
This is not an error -- it just means the PC was not previously hibernated.Originally posted by NMY
Did you change repositories for any reason, to install something that is not in the standard repos?
Can you boot "Recovery" mode, to a text prompt? If so, log in and thento make sure your package manager is OK. If it is OK, then probably there is some problem with your video, and we'll need to know more about your graphics card and how you had it working before.Code:sudo dpkg --configure -a

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
A little better description of "won't start" would be nice. Does it get to the grub menu? Does it bring up the Kubuntu splash screen? Does it end with a message about Kernel panic and can't mount root? Does it show a mouse cursor? Does it take you to a terminal login?

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
Try running EnvyNG in text mode.
Code:sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
Code:sudo envyng -t
First, "remove" the nVidia driver. Then, when it is back to the menu, "Install" the nVidia driver. When it finishes installing, then
ThenCode:sudo nvidia-xconfig
Code:startx

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
There have been a number of incidents lately where KDE and KDM get removed in an upgrade. Is KDM installed?
dpkg -l | grep kdm
Is KDE installed"
dpkg -l | grep kdebase
If not
sudo aptitude install kdm kde
If they are installed you should look at what video driver is installed.
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
should help.

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
There is a log file for X at /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- open that (cat, or nano or vi) and review toward the end. It might give a clue. It could be your video driver (I know, I said that before ....).Comment

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
I know, I did reinstall VGA drivers.Originally posted by dibl
I did not found any errors at the end of that file. Everything seems ok.
The problem is
xsession: unable to start xsession, no session managers, no window managers, no terminal emulators found.Comment

Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail
That tells you the problem. You do not have KDE installed correctly. You now have KDM (K Display Manager) installed and it is giving you a GUI login so X is actually working, but after you login it needs to run something and it can not find anything to run. When you installed kdm did you have the kde on the end of that command?
sudo aptitude install kdm kde
dpkg -l | grep kde
should show you many many packages. I am thinking it is not installed at all, as opposed to being installed incorrectly. If so
sudo aptitude install kde
should fix the problem. If that does not try
sudo aptitude install kde-window-manager
