  Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
  
  Hello, i run kubuntu lucid alpha2 from a fresh install with the daily-
  build 03.02.10 on x86 64 and after have done the first update with
  kpackagekit, iam not able anymore to login. In fact when kdm will  load
  , there appear a warn message:
  
+ impossible d'ouvrir le fichier thème
+ /usr/share/kde4/app/kdm/themes/ethais
  
- impossible d'ouvrir le fichier thème /usr/share/kde4/app/kdm/themes/ethais
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ In /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc comment out the Theme option (or change it to a valid value):
+ #Theme=/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/ethais
+ or
+ Theme=/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen-air
+
