apport information

** Description changed:

- To be filled in (on decent keyboard)
+ Intending to explore an unrelated issue with sddm/video-graphics
+ (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895905) I booted the current hirsute
+ daily on
+ 
+ dell [optiplex] 990 (i7-2600, 16gb, nvidia geforce gt 6600 gt)
+ 
+  sddm & video issue primarily, using hirsute for comparison)
+ 
+ No "Try Kubuntu" or "Install Kubuntu" dialog appeared, instead I got
+ 
+ "Installation failed - KDialog \n
+  The installer encountered an unrecoverable error.
+  A desktop session will now be run so that you may
+  investigate the problem or try installing again"
