Kubuntu Jaunty 64 bit, Nvidia: no console (ALT+F1) - really (CTRL+ALT+F1)

[Mirto Silvio Busico]

Sorry Jonas,
I lost your message and I found it today in the mailing list archive.
About your questions:

Do the switch user option in KDE work for you?
    Yes, it works

Can you start in failsafe mode?
    No. I get the error: "Xsession: unable to launch failsafe Xsession - 
- - x-terminal-emulator not found; aborting"

Thanks
    Mirto

You could try CTRL-ALT-F1 but i guess thats what you mean. Do the
switch user option in KDE work for you? Can you start in failsafe
mode? It looks like your console has not been setup. I tried to find
where the the consoles is started but failed, it was easier with sys-v
and /etc/init now i don't know where to look.
