** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xinit
  
  after last update of the system this morning (sat 26 /09 ) with synaptic-->select all updates,
  system boots-up on a text console, as KDM does not start.
  
  trying "sudo service kdm restart" results in :
  restart : unknown instance
  
  launching directly /etc/init.d/kdm restart does the same
  
  
  launching startx directly works only as root user. I mean "real" root user, logged-in as root on terminal.
  
  startx when logged in as normal user, or sudo startx does not work.
  
  
  after some investigation, I found there is a permission problem with ~/.Xauthority
  Solved it, now lauching sudo kdm after console login works.
  
  But service kdm start/restart still not work, and so kdm still does not
  start automatically at boot.
