after boot the kdm-screen is unreadable

[PepeCyB]

after boot prozess graphic login bildschirm is unreadable. it shows change coloured blocks. switching to text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and back to graphic console (CTRL-ALT-F7) the problem is removed. text consoles are always unreadable. it could be a problem with kdm.

system: kubuntu 9.10 with kde sc 4.4

I have the same problem. (kubuntu 9.10 amd64 with kde 4.4). If I try to get automatically to kdm, the xorg crash. However, If I start in recovery mode (as root or as normal user), I dont have any problem. I have a Ati video card .

Same here. Logging in (with flickering screen) and then restarting the X-Server by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace gives you also the kdm login-screen.

Happens to me too. After boot, the screen goes black, switching to a console and back brings up KDM.

The consoles aren't usable either (see screenshot).

Occured after the update to KDE4.4 from Kubuntu backports on

System: Kubuntu 9.10 i386
nvidia Geforce 7300, propietary driver 1.85.18.36

Confirm this, happened since upgrading to KDE SC 4.4 from Kubuntu backports!

A workaround that works for me is that after a reboot I press ESC couple of times in the moment I see kubuntu sigh with a progress bar.

Latest updates should fix this, though I do not have a karmic install to test with at the moment.

[Wolf F. (wfogl)]

Nope, problem still exists here, even after purging/reinstall kdm. It's really strange that you does not have any tty at all!

I just uploaded a new version with the correct kdm.upstart. I hope now is fixed.

[Alessandro Ghersi (alessandro-ghersi)]

Sorry, with "just uploaded" I meant kdebase-workspace still needs building. When it's built you can upgrade and try if works
