Hi, I have a stable system running 12.10 lts. A bunch of upgrades came in from
the ppa and now I can't log in from the plasma welcome screen. I can log in at
the command line though.

Can anyone advise how to fix?

I have run apt-get -f install but no change
I re-installed plasma-scriptengines and then kde-workspace but no change

I found a likely candidate for where it went wrong:

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Passthrough
debconf: (Cannot connect to /tmp/qapt-sock: No such file or directory at (eval
24) line 3)
debconf: falling back to frontend: NonInteractive
Unpacking replacement kde ...
Preparing to replace kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins
4:4.10.1b-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.0.?~ppa1 (using
.../kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins_433md.10.2-0ubuntu~ubuntu12.04~ppa?_amd64.deb]
...

I tried to reinstall kde and that didn't work ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. installed PPA updates
2. Try to log in 
3.
Actual Results:  
Screen flashes to command line then returns to plasma logon

Expected Results:  
KDE environment
