Installation of Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 64-bit from USB fails on lenovo T410s

[udippel]

I have downloaded the .iso for this install, written to USB-drive with the Startup Disk Creator, started the T410s with it, and it comes up splendidly. Once the first screen pops up, asking if one wants to try or install, it gets stuck. The mouse cursor moves, but neither of the two icons nor the drop-down for languages work any longer, nor can the system be shut down. It needs the power button. I retried several times, and it gets stuck exactly there, always. I also re-wrote the thumb-drive, without avail. In the end, I checked the checksum of the downloaded file, and found it to be correct.

In the very end I downloaded the lubuntu-version, used the same thumb drive, installed lubuntu instead, which worked without any problem, and then I used apt-get to install the Plasma desktop.
