<div dir="ltr">I don't know why I always forget how painful the upgrade process is, but I've managed to once again render my ubuntu machine almost unusable, and I'm hoping that somebody here can help.<div><br></div>
<div>I'll spare you the details other than to say after much hacking about with apt-* and dpkg I've managed to make it boot, and can even get into a window manager by setting the defaults to kdm and kde. The problem is that I don't like KDE, and would much rather use some gnome based desktop, but they all wedge on login. I can't find anything useful in /var/log/Xorg.log or /var/log/syslog. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I've tried removing (well, moving to a different directory) ~/.gnome* and ~/.gtk*, but that didn't help.</div><div><br></div><div>Any other ideas out there?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
