gdm bleibt nach upgrade schwarz

Hallo,

Hab mir auch so was gleiche gehabt mit Karmic. Ich weiß nicht wie du dein Rechner eingeteilt hast, aber ich hab zum Beispiel mein /home Ordner auf ein separate Festplatte. Ich hab 9.04 wieder ganz neu installiert, weil ich mit kein Möglichkeit das neue weg kriegte. Alles ist wieder ok. Ich warte jetzt bis Karmic fertig ist. Das empfehle ich dir auch zu tun.

Ein anderes ding was du versuchen kannst, ist deine frage auf Englisch stellen. Da sind nur ein paar leute die jetzt deine frage bekommen.

Hallo Rob, danke für deinen Rat, aber ich wollte das erst mal noch nicht machen mit der Neuinstallation.

Ich versuch das mal auf Englisch.

When I made an upgrade to karmic, it happened that synaptic couldn't solve a problem with the package of "kstars" after a reboot I got a screen whereon the splashscreen of "mythbuntu" (my usual screen) is seen on the top of a black screen about ten times or more. I was not able to do anything, no console or anything else than a reboot with "Alt+Sys Rq + B" . In recoverymode I removed the packages manually with "apt-get" till the upgrade run on. After the upgrade was finished, I got the same. I tried to install the ati-proprietory driver again, so i got a funny screen with little sqares in permantly changing colours. so i removed the driver again, installed kdm and renamed the xorg.conf. Between this actions I tried a lot of options with dpkg-reconfigure gdm and x-server but with no luck. after deletion of xorg.conf kdm started an i can log in in graphic mode again but without gdm. usually I get a message of dbconf to choose the default displaymanager, when I run dpkg-reconfigure gdm or kdm, on my system there is nothing.

At last gdm was updated today, but no reaction on my system. Now I found, that it is possibly not gdm the reason but debconf. when I run this:

earl@earl13:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -force gdm
[sudo] password for earl:
debconf: kann Frontend nicht initialisieren: Orce
debconf: (Can't locate Debconf/FrontEnd/Orce.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 22) line 2.)
debconf: greife zurück auf das Frontend: Noninteractive
 * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration...
 * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended.
invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.

the last tree lines are the "usual" answer when I trie to restart gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm restart

I reinstalled debconf - but what configures debconf?

anybody an idea for me?

thx

now I tried dpkg-reconfigure -a and got this...

(and only 3 - 4 questions)

Es bringt nichts, bei den Antworten die Sprache zu wechseln - Die Frage selber hast Du auf deutsch gestellt, und die Frage selber ist auch als deutsch eingetragen, taucht also nicht auf, wenn man nur nach englischen Fragen sucht.

Wegen Deines Problems: Versuche doch einfach mal, gdm (und alles, was sonst Ärger macht) komplett zu entfernen, mittels

apt-get purge gdm
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get update

Beim ersten Befehl ist das purge wichtig, damit werden auch Konfigurationsdateien entfernt. Die letzten Befehle irgendwelche Caches löschen und die Paketlisten neu laden.
Nach nem Neustart müßtest Du direkt in der Konsole landen, dort kannst Du dann gdm (und alles andere) wieder entweder mit aptitude (sehr nettes tool :) ) oder via
apt-get install gdm
installieren.
