** Description changed: affected system is my (somewhat outdated) FujitsuSiemens notebook model - "Amilo M Series", I used for installation (1) kubuntu Dapper LiveCD 6.06 - LTS and (2) kubuntu Edgy alternateCD 6.10 (no internet available for - installation). + "Amilo M Series" (kubuntu hardware database submission-ID + cd6f858209b5b21dd911e0bd9f34078e), for installation I used (1) kubuntu + Dapper LiveCD 6.06 LTS and (2) kubuntu Edgy alternateCD 6.10 (no + internet available for installation). By (1) I installed Dapper, immediately afterwards added (2) to the installation source by "apt-cdrom add", accepted all packages presented for update in "adept" and launched the update process. "Adept" finishes the update process with a warning about not having installed 47 packages due to potential risks for other packages. Restarting "adept" only results to a message about a potentially corrupt database and the advice to rebuild the same by "apt-get". (Network configuration has vanished from the KDE menu after the update process. In this state I unfortunately have shut down the system due to rising anorexia.) After restarting the system there is no login screen but only the image shown at http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/download/3048/. Switching to a console by Ctrl-Alt-F1 is possible, logging in as a user results to some screens full of "-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied". Checking xorg.conf shows the vesa driver to be installed. Although I'm unable to further locate the error, it seems that either the collection concept or one of the packages on the alternateCD might be somewhat buggy. This behaviour is repeatable.
