I can confirm this bug. I installed egdy-server ISO as of 09/02 on VMWare and installed kubuntu-desktop afterwards.
Below are some snippets from log files daemon.log: Sep 3 11:38:48 edgy udevd[1799]: parse_file: line too long, rule skipped '/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:540' Sep 3 11:39:06 edgy udevd[1799]: parse_file: line too long, rule skipped '/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:540' Sep 3 11:43:35 edgy kdm_greet[21352]: Can't open default user face Sep 3 11:43:44 edgy kdm_greet[21352]: Internal error: memory corruption detected Sep 3 11:43:44 edgy kdm: :0[21357]: Can't save user authorization in home dir Sep 3 11:43:44 edgy kdm: :0[21357]: Can't save user authorization Sep 3 11:43:48 edgy kdm_greet[21377]: Can't open default user face Sep 3 11:44:05 edgy kdm_greet[21377]: Internal error: memory corruption detected Sep 3 11:44:05 edgy kdm: :0[21382]: Can't save user authorization in home dir Sep 3 11:44:05 edgy kdm: :0[21382]: Can't save user authorization Sep 3 11:44:09 edgy kdm_greet[21402]: Can't open default user face kdm.log: (WW) VESA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xf0000000,0x1000000) (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compatibility { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+de(nodeadkeys)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols > Ignoring extra symbols Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom No such file or directory.
