This happened to me with kdm4 (4:4.1.2-0ubuntu13), when my /etc/X11 /default-display-manager file was 1 line, with the following text:
#/usr/bin/kdm So, it's not just 0 byte files; also files that begin with "#", which I imagine is a pretty normal way for people to turn off the display manager when they don't want it to start automatically. Removing the default-display-manager file let me finish the installation correctly, of course. -- kdm postinst fails when /etc/X11/default-display-manager is 0 byte file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
