I set kdm as standart display manager again, by dpkg-reconfigure kdm. all went fine, and kdm works properly. recently i noticed that lightdm is started at boot, just to become stopped right after that. i searched for, but did not find any sense for this behavior. boot.log: * Starting LightDM Display Manager^[[174G[ OK ] * Stopping LightDM Display Manager^[[174G[ OK ] i think lightdm sould not even be started, after i set an other default display manager.
