[Bug 477066] Re: kdm fails to start/restart (but gdm does properly) in kubuntu karmic 64 bits and nvidia driver 185 -- Solved!

 

Hi jth,

Many thanks for your suggestions. I did some further searching and the
following Ubuntu forum thread provided a work-around:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343261&page=5
Specificaly doctordruidphd post #47 to disable safe-mode graphics.

Similar discussion here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/491483

Apparently it is a timing/conflict issue and related to gdm/kdm and
safe-mode graphics. (so perhaps it is in someway related to this thread
too - I'm not sure)

P.S. I have 32bit Ubuntu installed (this thread is for 64 bit) and I
have both Gnome and KDE installed
