ok, downloaded vivid-desktop-i386.iso dated 2015-02-24 Tue 11:04:11, and booted it. it is different. the installer launches fine, xorg stays alive. but icons and buttons are all black, and when hovering over the taskbar the window previews that popup contain graphical nonsense. in a terminal i installed xdiagnose and python-apport. the installations completed successfully. i then launched "apport-collect -p xorg 1409222". the output is:
ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: No module named PyQt4.QtCore the installer was still up, waiting for me to answer the dialog: "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions:". after exiting the installer, the same apport-collect command still gets the same error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409222 Title: kubuntu live desktop iso xorg crashes upon launching installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1409222/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
