Hi Folks,

I have been running debian 6.0 testing on a desktop with an amd64 processor.
 Before shutting down last night I used synaptic to check for and install
upgrades: many were installed.

This morning kde won't start.  When I boot the system goes into what I
interpret as "terminal mode".  When I type in "startkde" as user I get
"DISPLAY is not set or cannot to the X server".  When I type "startkde" as
su I get:
------ Kaboom Settings Dump------
  kdehome - "/root/.kde" - exists? YES
  kde4 - "/root/kde4" - exists? NO
  kdebackup - "/root/kde3-backup" exists? NO
  kdestamp = "/root/.local/kaboom" exists? NO
  kaboom log - "/root/.kaboom.log"
---------------------------------------------------
kaboom cannot connect to X server

I tried using apt-get to install kde but was told the newest version was all
ready installed.

Fortunately I already have a recent backup.  I have downloaded debian
6.0.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso and I'm considering re-installing.  Does anyone
have a better idea?
