   What did you change. It's my understanding it should run "out of
the box"

Thanks

It should, but it doesnt, at least in wheezy it doesn't. It gets stuck
somehow. I guess the runlevel services get messed up, especially if you
have GDM, XDM and/or other login managers installed as well. In my case,
switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and issuing:

# service lightdm restart

(as root) helped. You could try that, and -- in case of success -- just
put this line in root's crontab:

@reboot sleep 10; /etc/init.d/lightdm restart



Nope.Didn't work here. Switching to a virtual console I issued "startx"...and it did...bring up the Gnome desktop (not my default).
So it appears X is not even starting (that explains blank screen and
blinking cursor). The question is why does switching from GDM3 to Lightdm cause X not to start ? I guess it's back to GDM3 for now.
