which packages - I ask because I suspect some may be missing. the way to get kde is to sudo apt-get install kde, which installs a zillion and twenty packages.

Check your installation. OK ksmserver is "The KDE Session Manager. It is responsible for restoring your KDE session on login." translation: it opens the programs that were open last time you started kde, kind of "restore desktop" - maybe that package was not installed (debian, and presumably ubuntu treat ksmserver as a separate package) > > ===================================================== > > End (the system just seems to keep looping... and won't enter Ubuntu Gnome > or KDE...) :( looping. what exactly do you mean? is there a message coming up repetitively. can you describe what the screen looks like? > > Help!!! > > Regards, > Bhaktavatsala Dasa (Vatsala) > > @ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~vatsalaji - Hare Krishna! > Hey Vatsala, you have had a bit of stick for your posts, this one is what we like to see (apart from sending it twice, but that happens!).
