Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
Instead of "normal" booting I choose Recovery Mode which shows the Recovery Menu. In this menu the first option is "resume Resume normal boot". If I chose this option the boot process seems to go on normal, but KDM isn't shown or started. Instead I can switch between the consoles 1-6 but can't switch to graphical mode on Alt+F7.
If I log in I can get this information:
$ sudo start kdm
kdm start/running, process 2192
$ sudo ps -e | grep kdm
=> no result, kdm is not running
$ sudo restart kdm
restart: unknown instance:
So kdm seems not to be running at all. Starting KDE by "startx" works so there is no problem with X (besides some xkbcomp-errors that are ignored).
So I guess it's a problem with or caused by upstart.
I don't know if it is related but Postfix configuration is reloaded quite often: "* Reloading postfix configuration".

syslog, Xorg.0.log and kdm.log don't show anything about kdm failing to start.
