Hi

Something's seriously wrong with my kubuntu. The computer boots up and shows the login screen. From there I enter a username and password and then I see a progress bar that hangs up at about 70%.

I can log into the console though. From there when I type

sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm

I get

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: kdm is broken or not fully configured

sudo apt-get install --reinstall kdm

throws

dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kubuntu-desktop:
kubuntu-desktop depends on kdm; howerver:
Package kdm is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing kubuntu-desktop (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured


From the above I could understand that there are some dependecy problems between kdm and kubuntu-desktop. But I don't have a clue how to resolve these dependency conflicts.

Thanks in advance
