Thanks for this additional information. Could you please tell me what: $ sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop
outputs for you? What it suggests for removal? I'm pretty sure this is a bug from the installer when it marked all packages depending on kubuntu-desktop as auto-installed. It should have been fixed for beta, but I will check with a fresh kubuntu install to be sure.
