Hi All,

First time mailer, so please be nice.

I had this problem, early this week, after a software update, tried everything to remove it, but to no avail, so I bit the bullet and re-installed.

It's taken 2 full days to get it back to normal.

But I just installed compiz-fusion- manager, played a bit and noticed the following. (I'm not saying this has anything to do with compiz, but I only noticed this after installing compiz).

If it click 'Ctl-Alt-F1' I get the exact same 'Black screen of death' back again, complete with kinit error message.

When I click 'Ctl-Alt-F7' , I get my proper desktop.

Clicking 'Clt-Alt F2 to F6, creates tabbed 'terminal windows' using tty2 to tty6.

Seeing as I don't have this problem anymore (thankfully), I can't check if this would fix it, so this might be helpful to some one who reads this notice. (like I did myself a couple of times).

Best regards to all, your help makes it all the more enjoyable.
