You have been subscribed to a public bug: Summary: Booting a Live-session, I reach the language selection. On click on "try Kubuntu" without install, first the mouse changes to two balls circling each other. Next the dialog goes half transparent and the mouse pointer is gone. It won't react to any keyboard input.
Details: I've downloaded the recent longterm release: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04.3/release/kubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso sha256sum 44cc15a31f9a3a6b583929ce711a5eb76fddb1ba447726f9bb2539d78b7a53bc I installed it via USB-creator to my USB pen drive and ran the internal md5sum checks successfully. On boot I get to the dialog to select the language, that I can switch back and forth. Also there's a link that can bring up a Konqueror window (though without entering my WiFi password, it won't connect). In addition, I can switch to a console via Ctrl+Alt+F1 Once I click the "try Kubuntu"-button, the error occurs. So I klicked it and while the mouse-cursor balls were still cycling I switched to console. Alt+SysReq+1 was not supported Alt+SysReq+t first didn't do anything, so I tried switching back via Ctrl+Alt+F7 and it immediately dumped some cryptic stuff to the console, that refreshes about ever 30 seconds only to repeat itself. I'll attach a photo. BTW: I tried to update the BIOS to no avail (the new BIOS shows exactly the same behavior on this machine). ubuntu-bug was run on the same hardware but in a newer Kubuntu 15.04 installed on it's harddrive.
