dweebman, the same thing happened to my work pc before I knew there were any issues, but for that pc I used the easter rc4 cd to do an upgrade install to get X back (that cd work a more recent X then what I had anyway). But now I know that's a KDE problem, I'd probably try:
apt-get remove --purge kdebase kdelibs kdesktop kdm
apt-get install kdebase/testing kdelibs/testing kdesktop/testing kdm/testing
If you don't have any backups to restore what you had, you could try the above (worth a try, but I'd be surprised if it worked, others could give you better suggestions than me) and if that's no good then you may have to use icewm until kde is sorted out (hopefully in a few days, where a dist-upgrade would then work again). |

I don't understand why people don't use aptitude instead of apt-get/dpkg? It is just so much simpler to do things like holds instead of the above cryptic process. Type "?" in aptitude for help to see the commands, press "=" on a package to hold it at its current version, ":" to remove the hold. |

Linux gurus tend also to be CLG (command line geeks) as the command line is so powerful (but dangerous). The command line is also great for debugging gui apps. As for dist-upgrades, well, this should only be done when X is not running, ie in init 3, and therefore apt-get is the one to use.
I would go as far as saying, that anyone who is scared of using apt-get in a command line shouldn't be dist-upgrading anyway. |

Just did a d-u with all repositories enabled (living dangerously, I know). Seems to have worked just fine. (MY results only of course!) Now up to KDE 3.5.4.
<EDIT below>
Well, I have to make a revision to the above. Firefox (1.5.0.4-3) is really borked at the moment. Pages' renderings are pretty wacky. I'm not sure what's up. |

Did the same. Now I have no decktop. I know, mia culpa. I tried to reinstall kdm, but all I get is dependency problems with kdebase-data which is 4:3.5.4, but needs to be less then that. How do I fix it, or is it at all possible? Should I just give up and start from scratch? |

I should add, because I do not know if this is part of the problem, or a different one. Is that everytime I run apt-get I get error saying:
setting up console-setup(1.7)...
dpkg: error processing console-setup (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encontered while processing:
console-setup
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dphg returned an error code (1)
Looks like I might have done a hatchet job of upgrading this time. |

LRC,
dont know whats wrong, but it sounds like apt's got the hickups.
do: apt-get install --reinstall apt and see if the hickups go away.

I should learn to never try things after my bedtime. Thanks to Swynndla"s suggestion, all I did was installed kdebase-data/testing, then installed kde, and everything is back to normal, that is until I do the idiot move again, and blow things up. Just goes to show you, that a little bit of patience and the right suggestion, and must hachet jobs involving Linux can be rescued as opposed to M$. |
