You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: kdm

My configuration:
- Kubuntu Karmic
- KDM, KDE
- NVidia driviers (proprietary)

Since an update that I made a couple of weeks ago, the system has not been able to startup properly:
- Rarely: everything is fine and KDE is started
- Often: I get a "low graphic mode" dialog after the first boot phase (the low graphic mode is displaty when KDM is loaded I think)
- Very Often: I get a blank sreen and I can't do anything (seems frozen, even CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't always display the terminal)

After searching in the forums, it seems that this is a frequent problem:

Replacing using GDM instead of KDM worked for me (and I think that I'm
not the only one). So I think that this is a KDM bug. Moreover it worked
fine before the upgrade.
