Bug#595723: kdm: After recent kernel upgrade KDM fails to restart following logout (see bug #594459)
Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.4.5-3
Severity: normal
After upgrading to the most recent X and kernel packages (/linux-image-2.6-amd64_2.6.32+28_amd64.deb),
KDM began failing to restart on logout. I was able to determine that it was the kernel upgrade that triggered the problem.
The mouse cursor remained visable on logout, KDM simply failed to restart. I was unable to access any virtual terminals
via ctl-alt F1-F7. I initialy reported this as an X bug, #594459. Dumps of my X logs and such are available there.
The only thing that looks funny in kdm.log is:
