[Bug 543452] [NEW] KDE 64bit lucid beta loads to white screen apparently with neither usable WM nor DE

[Bruce Miller]

Public bug reported:

I have installed lucid for the first time on this amd64 machine which
has just come back from shop to replace dead data drive.

Immediately after install from CD and before running online updates, KDE
worked "sort of". "Sort of" because krunner never worked.

Since running online updates, KDE is unusable. It loads to white screen.
There is apparently neither a WM nor a DE. Backed out to a virtual
console and installed lubuntu-desktop in order to obtain some
functionality from this computer (and in order to file this bug report).

In attempting to work around this problem, deleted ~/.kde to no effect.

Have been running lucid alpha versions on a 32-bit box since a few days
after alpha release without untoward incident.

I have been breaking alpha and beta software for 28 years and faithfully
reporting breakages. Am therefore fully aware of warnings about running
pre-production software.
