Is this using the livecd or is kde already installed? do you have a crash report for it in /var/crash/. Can you please provide a backtrace if kde is installed and you just cant start it.
ou may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively", http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- kdesktop crashes on startup of edgy beta https://launchpad.net/bugs/63118 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
