Thanks for all answers, this is my report. This is the list of commands I tried:
as root: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, 0 packages apt-get purge lightdm apt-get autoremove --purge apt-get install --reinstall kdm apt-get install kde-full apt-get install task-kde-desktop reboot I still get the lightdm greeter and it fails to start back to the console systemctl stop kdm.service systemctl start kdm.service systemctl stop lightdm.service, not loaded as user startx, still the lightdm screen, no desktop back to console as user startx startkde, kde starts as an xterm session Problem I see is that even grub now has the lightdm screen, I cannot understand how that happens since I completely purged lightdm. So as root apt-get install grub-efi-amd64 apt-get install --reinstall grub-common still SOL, startx startkde is my only option so far. Where is Lisandro when you need him? If anybody wants to troubleshoot logs, I am of course willing to paste. |
