    8.04 to 8.10 upgrade

    I did an adept upgrade and everything seem to go OK. But when i tried to login it would just resend me back to the login in screen. so did some digging and found this error - KDM PAM_CK_CONNECTOR NO X11 mode. I am unable to locate anthing on this error. What i was able to do was to gdm be the front end for login and then set KDM as my default. this id working, but kludge to me. any help would be appreciated.

        Did you notice this "Known issue" at the bottom of the www.kubuntu.org homepage?

        Can not login after upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix. After an upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix, logging in will return directory to the login screen again. The x-session-manager alternative link is not correctly updated. Select "KDE" from the Session Menu before logging in and fix it with update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/startkde. (Bug 287488).

              It's a command to execute at a command prompt, are you familiar with that?

              you can select a console login at the login screen or you could press ESC during early boot time and select "Recovery mode", then choose "Drop to prompt".

              Once you executed the command

              Code:
              update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/startkde
              you can reboot the computer with the command
              Code:
              shutdown -r now
              If you're executing these commands as a normal user (not root), you will have to add "sudo" in front of the commands to use administrative rights.

                    Please try (from command line):

                    Code:
                    dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
                    and
                    Code:
                    dpkg-reconfigure kdm
                    One of the two might be able to restore some settings.
