This might be related to a feature that was added a couple of weeks ago. Try editing your /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc (or kdmdistrc file if it is present) and edit this line: WindowManager=kwin to read WindowManager= If the WindowManager=<something> line is not present then add it in the [X-*-Greeter] section of the file. Reboot and try logging in again. Let me know if this allows you to login--it is a workaround and the real cause of problem will need to be investigated if this works. Thanks! Tim

OK. I've been up about 24 hours. Ubuntu Natty (amd64) on a Dell somethingorother. Install of Ubuntu was smoooth. Did the steps Tim outlined: On 09/12/11 12:11, Timothy Pearson wrote: Be sure to specifically choose a TDE session on the login screen. If you are untarring an old $HOME onto your new installation simply make a symlink from .kde (if you used Kubuntu previously) or .kde3 if you've used one of Tim's previous kits/distros and all your stuff comes back magically. Hurray! Note that there is still an issue with keys and mirrors, so you will likely still see: W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 43F1DC4F2B8638D0 W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 43F1DC4F2B8638D0 Thanks, Tim, for not forcing me (and the rest of us) to have to make a new desktop layout just because KDE4 is "better" in some programmer's mind. I've had mine for *years*, even under Solaris(!) and didn't see the need to change.
