Re: kde does not start normally

[Carlos Kosloff <ckosloff@hardwarealien.com>]

I edited group and added sddm, as syntax below.
Had to do dpkg-reconfigure sddm because default was set to kdm.
sddm started but it is broken, display is garbled, had to go back to terminal and do startx startkde.
I think that I have to download packages from unstable, will see if that works.
Will keep you posted, thank you.

Hmmm...I have this entry in /etc/group sddm:x:131: is this what you are talking about?
Otherwise I could do adduser sddm video as root.
Also, without changing anything in my sources.list, I could download more updated packages from unstable and install with dpkg.
What do you think?
Thank you.

I mean group video:x:44:sddm,[my username] in /etc/group. I still have this workaround enabled so I'm not 100% if updating the nvidia drivers from unstable fixes it. Actually I'm using nvidia drivers from experimental.
