Like title, I can't anymore start kde in a normal way. I've to - in the grub menù - choose "recovery mode" and then "recover normal start" (could be slightly different... kde is in italian). When I try to use the normal way and I try to startx it says the nvidia driver not loaded (I've tried several times to reinstall it).

Can I try something?

Could you add more information ? Your system ? - GPU ? Open/Proprietary drivers. Did you install/remove/upgrade something ? Do you get the graphical log in screen (KDM) ? Or just the text log in ? – user26687 Oct 24 '11 at 17:11

Something to try

When you start the KDE normal way and end to the text screen (?). Examine the Xorg logs: /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

A command to look the errors:

grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

A command ro look warnings:

grep "(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

With the error/warning messages you could do a net search and find a possible solution.
