Booting into runlevel 1 works.
If anyone has an idea how to save the contents of journalctl -xb I will post them.

Looking at lots it seems ubiquity-dm is failing because X just doesn't want to start.
Trying with ubuntu daily-live current (which is from March 6th) it starts X successfully but it doesn't show ubquity-dm and it uses upstart not systemd-sysv so that's not much of a metric.
Trying with ubuntu's daily-live pending (from today) it doesn't start X similar to Kubuntu so I think this is not a specific Kubuntu problem.

Are you sure this is related to the X server? When I remove the maybe-ubiquity the problem does not disappear.

Sorry, I mistyped: Correct is "Kubuntu Daily 20150318 amd64".
