Kubuntu 16.04 Daily Build Boot Stops at Desktop Folder

[Gene Soo]

Booting the Kubuntu Daily Build 16.04, the boot stops showing the Desktop Folder with an Icon to Install Kubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Formerly, the boot of the ISO would bring you to a screen that gave the Options to Try Kubuntu or Install Kubuntu.
This screen was consistent with all of the other Ubuntu Distributions.

I am not able to reproduce this, are you? If I don't touch anything to make the boot menu show, it boots up anyway and then you get the ubiquity welcome screen asking to choose your language and whether to try or install ubuntu.

Please look at the attached screenshot.
I just tried to boot the KDE Daily Image from Last Night.
Boot leaves you at KDE Desktop with Desktop Folder Open and barely Visible
is the icon to Launch The Install Script.
I am running this under VirtualBox and Mouse Control is not synchronized.
In the past, I was able to use the mouse to launch the install process.

If you are running KickStart Scripted Install, please forgo that install
and try a manual install against the unmodified ISO.

I just performed a full download of cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso

Results were same stopping in Kubuntu Live Desktop with Desktop Folder Open containing Icon to install same as first screenshot attached when this incident opened.

If there is any additional commands I can issue to further prove this or collect documentation then please supply instructions.

I am attaching with this update a Screenshot of 15.10 Install after the boot, it leaves you in a Selection Window to choose Running Live Kubuntu or Install Kubuntu,

That's strange. Now I can reproduce it. I run my vm with qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -vga std -cdrom kubuntu-desktop-amd64.iso -m 1024.
