Which set of
packages are you using?
I was using the 3.5.13 Ubuntu Oneiric packages initially (on
Ubuntu Precise), I upgraded later to the R14 nightlies for Ubuntu
Precise from here:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/u…
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de…
The nightlies should include the migratekde3 script and should only be referencing tdm
rather than kdm.
I'm thinking look into your system for references to kdm rather than look at TDE as
the cause.
I'm unfamiliar with Debian/Ubuntu startup, but with Slackware I had to create a
modified rc.4 script to accommodate tdm. For Slackware, that is the script that controls
the graphical login. I'm guessing Debian/Ubuntu has a similar script and that script
is looking for kdm rather than tdm.
