This bug should be fixed soon. I sent an email to the maintainer of sysvinit scripts. The kdm (i.e. /etc/init.d/kdm) script at line 59 calls /etc/init.d/usplash stop instead of /etc/init.d/usplash start. Also before line 59 add a new line setting the environment variable DO_NOT_SWITCH_VT=yes.
Refer to the gdm script if you get confused. -- slow kdm/kde startup since upgrade to edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/68808 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
