Ayer volví a reinstalar desde cero mi Debian Wheezy con mi repositorio personalizado de KDE 4.10 y debo decir que si antes funcionaba bien, ahora lo hace mucho mejor.
El único problema que tuve fue con KDM, que al parecer no se instaló bien del todo, pues no quería iniciar automáticamente, algo que me llama la atención pues hice la misma instalación, con los mismos repositorios en la otra PC y todo andaba de maravillas.
Buscando la causa del problema detecté que no se creó el fichero /etc/init.d/kdm el cual debe tener adentro esto:
#!/bin/sh -e

Esto es lo que tiene dicho fichero en la otra PC, pero no lo pude ver anoche, les muestro mi otra alternativa
La solución que encontré entonces fue crearme mi propio script de arranque, el cual sirve para KDM o cualquier otra aplicación que deseemos iniciar, el cual contiene esto:
#! /bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin . /lib/init/vars.sh . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start|"") /usr/bin/kdm ;; stop) # No-op ;; *) echo "Usage: kdm [start|stop|restart]" >&2 exit 3 ;; esac
Ahora, para que inicie automáticamente KDM es necesario activar dicho escript, por lo que hago uso de RCConf para ello. Y listo. No obstante, yo recomiendo usar el original
