X crashes on some runs of Kubuntu live image returning in SDDM login

[Jonathan Riddell]

Running a Kubuntu vivid beta 2 live image on my laptop I get the ubituity-dm screen. I press "Try Kubuntu" and it takes me to the SDDM login screen. Autologin should work and trying the exact same USB drive on a different computer it does reliable autologin. It's also reported to work fine on Virtualbox.

Looking at the logs this isn't a fault with SDDM but X is crashing on login returning us to SDDM

I have similar problems with latest Ubuntu Vivid daily build (2015-04-16: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/vivid-desktop-amd64.iso) installed on USB media. In boot I see messages "invalid user: ubuntu ubuntu".

Thank you.

Is that still true on current vivid daily images?

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Today it doesn't even return to an sddm login. There is a crash for kactivitymanagerd in bug 1446725 which happens at the same time as the X crash.

I do still get this on today's daily on my Thinkpad "Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)". It's still fine on my Sony Vaio

Hello, I am having similar issue with an installation(not live), after logging in, while desktop is loading, something crashes and takes me back to sddm login. Is there any log file I should check?

[Stephen Purvis (2-stephen)]

I believe I am also seeing the same thing. A live image present me with a choice to try or install and 'try' results in a blank screen (hard crash?) with no ttys available.
