kinit issue on startup

[Robert]

Hi Folks,

I've just done an upgrade from kubuntu 8.10 to kubuntu 9.04 via the
internet.

The upgrade appears to have gone well excepting that I have now lost the GUI
login. During boot, when the X server initialisation happens, I get the
pretty blue background with the mouse cursor showing briefly. The mouse
cursor shows first as the two little balls circling each other and then goes
to the arrowhead. It is also operational - I can move it around via the
touchpad while it is showing).

Then it blacks out and reverts to the CLI login prompt.

Any ideas what is happening, and how I can fix it?

My hardware is an (elderly) Toshiba A10 laptop with 1G RAM. Kubuntu 8.10 was
running quite happily on it before the upgrade.

Regards,

Robert
