[Bug 1627348] Re: Live DVD boots to black screen with mouse pointer

[Lars Bischoff]

** Description changed:

  I've tested booting from the Kubuntu 16.10 beta ISO on a
  Acer Travelmate 290, 1,8GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, Mob. Radeon 9700 Gfx.
  
  System boots fine until the selection of "trying" or "installing" Kubuntu.
  If I select "try", system continues, finally shows the KDE login splash, then ends up with a black screen and visible mouse pointer.
  
  Plasma seems to be active though: Moving the Mouse to the upper left
  edge highlights the active corner.
  
  If I now press the power button, the log out dialog shows up. Confirming
  that, the log in screen is displayed.
  
- If I know login again, I end up with an empty KDE Desktop, no panel.
- After adding the default panel manual I can work as usual with the Live
- Session.
