I was called to visit a friend, who couldn't log on to her Kubuntu 6.04 LTS; it was getting 'stuck' at the blue-grey Kubuntu screen, but without the KDE splash loading. She had tried and rebooted a number of times, but it wasn't working. I logged into the recovery (command line) option as root and started KDE, and it all worked. While there I turned off her Convenience/Auto-Log-In, and I also looked into the kdm logs (nothing there of concern!) :(
I then restarted and we got to the KDE login, but when we logged her user into KDE it took a LONG time to load the Desktop icon; when we got in it had an error message, "Couldn't load KLauncher". I couldn't start Firefox nor Konqueror, but I could launch a Konsole and Adept, from where I installed Synaptic to try to find out what package provided KLauncher, to try to reinstall that. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything related to KLauncher! So, I applied her waiting updates and rebooted, and we got in the next time without a problem. Still, the whole episode makes me thing something is amiss...
