    That tells you the problem. You do not have KDE installed correctly. You now have KDM (K Display Manager) installed and it is giving you a GUI login so X is actually working, but after you login it needs to run something and it can not find anything to run. When you installed kdm did you have the kde on the end of that command?
    sudo aptitude install kdm kde
    dpkg -l | grep kde
    should show you many many packages. I am thinking it is not installed at all, as opposed to being installed incorrectly. If so
    sudo aptitude install kde
    should fix the problem. If that does not try
    sudo aptitude install kde-window-manager
    .
    The kde cannot be installed because it depends on various packages. So... what to do?

      The whole purpose of the kde package is to depend on other packages. I contains nothing. It depends on many packages so you can run
      sudo aptitude install kde
      and it will install all the packages it depends on. Somehow you seem to have told your apt system not to install dependencies. Have you been editing /etc/apt/apt.conf or files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d? Meanwhile this might get you what you want
      sudo aptitude -f install kde

          Are you saying that since my last response you ran
          sudo aptitude -f install kde
          notice the -f, and it installed numerous packages but you are still getting that message?

          What is the output of
          dpkg --get-selections | grep kde

              Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail

              I think we are very close. I am using Jaunty so some of what I see may be alittle different than yours. The configuration settings for kde are in /etc/kde,kde4,kderc,kde4rc and on my computer they are installed by packages kubuntu-default-settings or kdm. Since we know you have kdm installed how about kubuntu-default-settings?

              In Jaunty there is a package kubuntu-desktop which has many dependencies and recommendations. In Intrepid it might be called kubuntu-kde4-desktop. You should run
              aptitude search kubuntu and if kubuntu-desktop shows up run
              sudo aptitude -f -r install kubuntu-desktop
              This will turn recommendations into dependencies and fix-missing.

              Hope that gets it.

                Thanks mando_hacker. l did ran the command
                sudo aptitude -f -r install kubuntu-desktop
                and jet my problem isnt gone... maybe I should install another linux distro and stop jerking around with kubuntu, because this is taking forever. With windows I would just pop the damn cd in the cd-rom and reinstall the damn thing, this is taking days...

                Any suggestions on the problem or suggestions on a new distro ?

                  Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail

                  You can do what you want, of course, and I have no stake in keeping you using Kubuntu, but I think the only thing you will find that is more stable than Kubuntu is Debian and the whole reason Kubuntu exists is to make Debian more "new user friendly". This has been a frustrating experience, I am sure. It is a little so for me because I have seen this problem many times and the suggestions I have made usually make it go away. I am amazed that you are not up and running yet.

                  I hate to give up, but I can see where you might want to start fresh. I would really suggest that you get the latest Jaunty nightly build iso and install Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. You can find it here. That way you will be able to build on what you have learned here also.

                    Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail

                    Is it possible that I have edited sources.list and thats the whole problem?
                    How do I reroll sources.list back to normal? I have backups, but I'm not sure witch one would be the right one

                    nope thats not the problem... >.<

                      Re: Last update, Kubuntu fail

                      That is most likely a contributing factor. I have attached what I think is a standard Intrepid sources.list file. There are 2 lines I added at the end and I have commented those.

                        Great success. Thank you very much. I installed kde and kubuntu desktop. Theres only 2 little problems: 1) keyboard isnt working and I'm missing windows frame (I dont know how to spell it right). And log out isnt working, it's just turning to black screen and hangs
