You need to install KDM with apt-get. If you get a blue and red dialog box on the CLI prompting you to choose a display manager, choose KDM; otherwise, execute dpkg-reconfigure kdm (after you install it) and select it from the dialog box.

Try that or just deal with graphics card issue
BTW did, you install firmware-linux & firmware-linux-nonfree

Hi,
I replaced an old NVIDIA GeForce GTX550Ti
with a brand new
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X OC with Boost (UEFI) 100373-2L AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB 384-Bi GDDR5 PCI-E

I tried and documented below my attempts with:
1)Debian vesa driver
2)Debian radeon driver
3)debian fglrx driver:
4.1)Beta fglrx from AMD 128742301 Jul 11 02:47 amd-driver-installer-14.20-x86.x86_64.run
4.2)Latest fglrx from AMD 157989882 Nov 28 13:59 amd-driver-installer-14.501.1003-x86.x86_64.run

Any help or advice apreciated. Thanks!

I thought I had posted my resolution to this problem. I ran lynis and it said to change umask, in /etc/init.d/rc, to 027. Prior to doing that, Gnome was starting up fine. However, after I made that recommended change, restart produced the "Oh no!" screen. I used ctrl-alt-F4 to get the command line, edited /etc/init.d/rc and changed its umask value back to 022. When I restarted, the Gnome desktop started up just fine. So, setting umask, in /etc/init.d/rc, to 027 was what caused my problem.

I have not installed any graphics cards so am unable to help with that problem.

oschreiber.ae90 · 12-29-2014, 01:12 PM

Thanks OtagoHarbour,
I checked my /etc/init.d/rc and it has umask 022.
Maybe Debian unstable has something messed up with respect to libraries needed for radeon or fglrx drivers.
I am thinking of installing `testing' or `stable' on another machine to see if card will work.
Thanks!

As I was attempting to install Kali 2.0 on VMware I was running into the same issue. Startx was not found, and even upon manually installing it would not work. The one thing that worked for me was to enable virtualization in bios. This is usually a problem that occurs with VirtualBox for me, but this time it resolves the issue with Kali 2.0 on VMware.

Login into terminal instead of GUI. And move gnome session with some name.
Example
Cd .config
Mv gnome-session gnome-session-old
And try logging into GUI.

This will fix the above stated issue.
