Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

KDE won't load after apt-get update: Kubuntu x86_64
Hey all,
I was just wondering if this has happened to some of you as well, and if so, did you find out how to fix it?
I ran a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. Since it loaded some kernel packages, I thought a system restart was in order.
So KDM loads. I input my password, and the system hangs on the splash screen for a bit, then I arrive back at the KDM login screen.
I'm able to log into console mode. I've tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers and running off of the free nv driver, but nothing seems to work. I've attempted running startx from console, but after the little freeze I'm looking at the console again. I'm then looking at 2 error messages:
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module type1
(II) Module already built in
I've attached a copy of Xorg.0.log, but I've tried messing around with xorg.conf (commenting out various modules) and I don't thing xorg is at fault here.
The log is here. I've removed various hardware ranges for brevity.

Reason: System specs
I had the same problem in debian. Not suare what caused it but the way i fixed it was to login under the cli and remove kde completely and the install it again. Not the answer you're after but if worse comes to worse give that a try
I attempted reinstalling kdm, kdebase, and all kde packages dependent on these. This unfortunately didn't work. I installed fluxbox, and this loads properly.
Trying to run kicker in fluxbox gave me the error:
kdecore (KLocale): WARNING: Definition of PluralForm is none of NoPlural/TwoForms/French/OneTwoRest/Russian/Polish/Slovenian/Lithuanian/Czech/Slovak/Arabic/Balcan/Macedonian/Gaeilge/Maltese: Definition of PluralForm - to be set by the translator of kdelibs.po
Searching that one came up with an interesting result. From the Ubuntu fora:
Yes, and the issue reappeared. Apparently this is a well known bug in the kubuntu repos, and happened on the Feb 12th update. The problem for me was I didn't have the right error message, and searching 'KDE won't load after update' so many different ways yields an infinite amount of results.
Presumably the "module type1" is for type one fonts in the X server? I'd have thought that most fonts used would not be "type 1".
Can you just open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with your favourite text editor *, and then comment out the line
Code:
Load "type1"
by adding a "#" at the start of the line.
* you'll need to do this as root, eg keypresses "Alt-F2; kdesudo konsole; {your password}; nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf {in the konsole window}". The line to comment is in the third section (on my box) called "Modules". Then "Ctrl-X {to exit}; y {to save}; Enter {to confirm name of file}; Alt-F4 {close konsole}". Then use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart the X server.
Can't be sure this will work, but worth a try. If it fails, just do the same thing but remove the "#".

Just tried this move on my fully working Ubuntu + KDE, no obvious problems.

Reason: added info
I originally tried commenting it out awhile back, and when this didn't fix the language pack issue, I removed the comment to restore the state of my xorg.conf.
But it's true, I should recomment that line, since I think the module type1 is no longer a module but built into the x-server now.
