You have been subscribed to a public bug: Kubuntu LiveDVD downloaded from an approved mirror and burned to DVD. sha256sum matches for ISO and check media reports no issues.
After executing "Try Kubuntu" and finally getting to the desktop, Konsole opens, but upon pressing any key in the console window, X (or KDE?) seems to crash, showing me the text bootup screen for a few seconds and then some sort of Plasma screen requiring me to enter a password. The only way to get a working command line is to use one of X's text console screens. Very bizarre and I can't believe that I am either the only one to experience this or the first one to report it. Here is the contents of /var/log/apport.log: ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:46 2012: called for pid 4682, signal 6, core limit 4294967295 ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:46 2012: executable: /usr/bin/Xorg (command line "/usr/bin/X :0 -core -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch") ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:46 2012: is_closing_session(): no DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in environment ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:51 2012: wrote report /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:51 2012: writing core dump to /etc/X11/core (limit: 4398046510080) ERROR: apport (pid 5011) Sun Oct 28 21:06:54 2012: writing core dump /etc/X11/core of size 52105216 Here's a possibly relevant lines from /var/log/syslog: Oct 28 21:06:12 kubuntu org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper: QDBusConnection: system D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
