Thread: After installing kde-plasma-desktop from ubuntu, endless Kubuntu-logo screen-no login

hi guys,

problem: installed kubuntu-plasma-desktop/netbook package gui software tool in ubuntu 11.10 (using process described here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde), , after rebooting, can't login splash screen. see "kubuntu" logo, progress bar of sorts, filling on , on again. no login screen.

os loads properly, though -- if log non-gui tty, can move through filesystem , run commands normally.

i'm not sure if x server starting right -- though looks have beginnings of gui (kubuntu logo) on tty7, if switch tty6 , log in , run "startx", doesn't throw errors.

running startx on tty pops me gnome desktop session. thought weird, because whenever i've had malfunctioning gui session in past, trying launch x server in tty returns error xorg.config thing being locked process (i assume malfunctioning gui in tty7). not in case -- can launch x other ttys without problem.

unfortunately, x/gnome seem drop me limited gnome session -- has top menu bar doesn't list apps, i'm limited working see on desktop. still, can launch gui programs (e.g. gedit) here, might running "startx" starts basic gnome stuff, , not side-menu or other startup items.

when run "top," see called kplasmoid running (taking few % of cpu). when try kill process, system tends hang , have hard reset.

ideas on how can kde working? or @ least remove , go gnome splash screen? i've tried doing sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop/kde-plasma-desktop, seem pointer packages don't uninstall else.

right can't use machine, , i've invested ton of time in getting dev environment set way it.

can help?

in advance!

non?
thinking might kind of hardware conflict kde library (hey, ya never know...), installed kubuntu on partition. works fine. guess rules out hardware.

ideas?
