 There are a couple of gpg messages, though:

gpg-agent: enabled debug flags: assuan
can't connect to '/home/anne/.gnupg/log-socket': No such file or
directory.

I don't know whether this is to be expected, or whether it has any
relevance at this point.

&quot;systemctl show prefdm.service | grep ActiveEnter.*Mono&quot; returns 0

I presume this is to be expected at this stage.

&quot;systemctl start prefdm.service&quot;
Failed to issue method call: Access denied

In case that has to be root, I used &quot;su -&quot; then the same command, but
that just gives me a flashing cursor.

</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>Doesn't runlevel 5 attempt to launch the desktop, though?  I don't see
how I can do that.

&gt;<i> What I'm trying to work out here is if the job relating to

</I>&gt;<i> conflict.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If there is a conflict then the values will be 0 and this will

</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>While the new reboot is completing, and while I remember - irqbalance
daemon always fails to start.  I've assumed it's not relevant?

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> If it still fails, then try starting prefdm.service
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> manually (systemctl start prefdm.service) and see what
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> happens.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Nothing at all happens.  It returns to the prompt.
</I>&gt;<i> This is curious. Does this also occur at runelevel 3? What does

</I>&gt;<i> the prompt?

</I>prefdm.service - Display Manager
  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/prefdm.service: static)

&gt;<i> Is there anything useful in the kdm log file about why kdm failed

</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>Looks like an X11 problem.  The netbook is Atom N550, Intel everything.

tail kdm.log

Looks as though we've found it.

&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> We have all spent a lot of time on this.  There are files on

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> It would probably be easier and quicker to grab the latest

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> but I am willing to continue if there is any possibility that
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> what we discover could save grief for others.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> What do you think?
</I>&gt;<i> Plenty more to debug if you want to continue.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>Probably Intel graphics are less common than ATi and NVidia, but if
there is a real problem here (as opposed to user-caused one) we should
continue.  I can hold on a bit longer.  Just give me the next steps :-)
