Title:
  Locked out from Kubuntu install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  While waiting for Kubuntu to install itself on the disk, I looked
  around the desktop and menues. Finding the user sessions I chose one
  of the other tty's out of curiosity. The desktop disappeared and I got
  a text console, as I suspected (though a newbie wouldn't).

  Reading the text on this screen I found no instructions on how to get
  back to the graphical interface! _I_ know that I do that by pressing
  ctrl-alt-F7, but beginners would have no clue and be lost already at
  this point!

  After pressing ctrl-alt-f7 I got a message that the session had been
  locked and I had to enter a password. I tried using "ubuntu",
  "kubuntu", "", "live", "live session user", "user", and quite a lot of
  other passwords, to no avail. I tried searching the internet for what
  this password might be from another PC. No sensible results. In the
  end I had to press ctrl-alt-backspace (an option also not available to
  beginners), change the suggested user name to ubuntu (!) and use the
  empty password, and start the install over again.
