What did you change. It's my understanding it should run "out of
the box"
Thanks

It should, but it doesnt, at least in wheezy it doesn't. It gets
stuck
somehow. I guess the runlevel services get messed up, especially if
you
have GDM, XDM and/or other login managers installed as well. In my
case,
switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and issuing:
# service lightdm restart
(as root) helped. You could try that, and -- in case of success --
just
put this line in root's crontab:
@reboot sleep 10; /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
Nope.Didn't work here. Switching to a virtual console I issued
"startx"...and it did...bring up the Gnome desktop (not my default).
So it appears X is not even starting (that explains blank screen and
blinking cursor). The question is why does switching from GDM3 to
Lightdm cause X not to start ? I guess it's back to GDM3 for now.
Additional configuration commands to try (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
If these don't do it, you could also try to manually edit the runlevels
by issuing:
sysv-rc-conf
and unticking gdm and/or gdm3 from runlevel 2. If sysv-rc-conf is not
installed, you'll have to install it first of course.
Caveat: I did all of the above and *still* lightdm won't start
automatically -- only after a "service lightdm restart"!
