[Discuss] Kubuntu == display quit working

[pw]

Sorry. You're not getting into X so you obviously cant do that.

In your user directory try renaming  ~.kde
to something else like ~.kde.backup

Then restart X (perhaps by rebooting).

KDE should then recreate a default ~.kde
file system for your user profile.

The other option is to:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
