Hi Vik,

I was hoping you would comment as your post was the trigger for me to
upgrade.

I posted on this list and kubuntu about my issues in the past day or so
as follows:

"My PC gets shutdown each night and when I restarted I noticed:

- PC won't boot boot to graphical login (as it used to prior to KDE
upgrade), although startx sorts this out.
- If I login graphically as root, I get a seg fault on logout.

Is the first issue solved by changing a runlevel from 3 to 5? If so then
fine, but why would it change due to the upgrade?

How should I go about tracking the seg fault?"

The kubuntu list said "make sure kdm is installed and that the service
starts on boot". Both are true in my case but I still have the same
issues.

I'd rather solve this but I don't know where to start.
