Hi Rog131

Yeah the blocked Amarok packages were just blocked in Kpackagekit.There is no error or warning message just that they are blocked.
I think the audio problem with amarok seems to only happen when I listen to streaming radio and then decide to record the stream using the script in amarok.Otherwise Karmic really is great so far on this box

I have lost KDM too and all audio has gone
Startx works to get to the desktop but there is no option to shut down from the desktop only logout

I lost audio too, bugged it yesterday and it's fixed today. At least on my machine the problem was policykit and was fixed with last night's updates.

I was out town and away from the computer for 24 hours +. Upon return, I ran updates and observed among other things a new kernel, 2.6.31-11. When I shut down X to install the Nvidia driver, using "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop" I got a nice message instructing me to use "sudo service kdm" to start it, and it worked marvelously. This is great -- kudos to the devs for considering users!

Upon restarting X, using correct terminology, it all looks fine -- Conky started, Compiz started, music played -- it only lacks an espresso-dispensing feature.
