(I'm a noob btw)
I rebooted my PC on friday and during the reboot it got stuck at the point where it starts runlevel 5.
I rebooted again and this time when it got stuck I hit <Esc> and I could swear it said it was starting runlevel 6. Either way I managed to login in but it wouldnt load KDE
I rebooted again and this time I was able to login without any problems.
