As an alpha release there are still bugs, notably some intel video
drivers have problems in this release.

 * Some Intel graphics drivers fail to load
   (https://launchpad.net/bugs/133824,
   https://launchpad.net/bugs/134284) 

 * The Restricted Manager notifies users about the availability of
   restricted drivers also on the live
   CD. (https://launchpad.net/bugs/134227) 

 * Printing does not work in the live system. Once the system is
   installed, it works fine. As a workaround in the live system,
   execute this command: sudo aa-complain
   cupsd. (https://launchpad.net/bugs/131976) 

 * Kubuntu usplash does not run on the live CD
   (https://launchpad.net/bugs/134225)
