For the past few days (after fiddling with login managers with fingerprint support), KDM has started but immediately stopped when I booted my work laptop, meaning I had to log-in to the console and start KDM manually.
The issue was that in /etc/init/kdm.conf the following check is made:
[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manager -o "$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/bin/kdm" ] || { stop; exit 0; }
But, the content of /etc/X11/default-display-manager is just kdm, not the full path. I've no idea what puts that value in the file, and what put the original correct one before.
Eugh.
