Upon installing and after upgrading to latest install, after adding packages and adding user data, KDE will no longer load on Tahir. Before loading user data everything loaded ok.
I skipped moving back all of the . folders I could think of that would cause conflict.

I have removed the .kde folder and the result after rebooting is the same. There is no crash to report but KDE hangs and the world icon (icon #3) and refuses to continue. DBUS issue?

I thought at first this may be a SELinux issue, so I unset enforcing mode but the result is the same.You can kill xorg and restart it and the problem persists.

As this affects kde-session on kubuntu I dont know where to begin to report this. Installing MATE for some reason does not result in the session getting added to the login list, so I am forced to reformat to add another desktop.

This SIMPLY SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.Using MATE Ubuntu results in corrupt video output and the OS is unusable. As debian is not affected in this way, I will assume this is an ubuntu bug. Why ubuntu has banned a perfectly GOOD DE is beyond me, it does not conflict with gnome3 in any way. MATE is a perfectly good fallback when GNOME3 refuses to load. Yet I cannot seem to install it alongside any other desktop and get it to work. The proper packages install, but MATE is not selectable as a login option.
