Don't worry about changing the runlevel.  Ubuntu alreayd runs GDM/KDM at 
it's default runlevel of 2, which is what this step is trying to achieve.

You are running KDM, so you'll have to search for KDM instructions.
The KDM configuration files on my system (which unfortunately, is not 
Ubuntu at the moment) are located in /etc/kde/kdm  I had to edit the 
kdmrc file and find the [Xdmcp] section to enable Xdmcp.


[Xdmcp]
Enable=true
Willing=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xwilling
Xaccess=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess


Good luck, and write back if you need further assistance.
