Server aborting seems to have stopped and KDE does boot up now. -------------------------------------- UPDATE I have another nvidia driver installed and when the computer boots it shows the nvidia logo and crashes and loops back to the logo again and crashes and does that a few times then i get a xserver error: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x6d) [0x48031d] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2b1c5abf3110] 2: /lib/libc.so.6(__ctype_tolower_loc+0x25) [0x2b1c5abed2c5] 3: /usr/bin/X(xf86nameCompare+0xfe) [0x4a4d0e] 4: /usr/bin/X(InitInput+0x103) [0x45ea53] 5: /usr/bin/X(main+0x337) [0x430e87] 6: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xda) [0x2b1c5abe04ca] 7: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa2) [0x43029a] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.
