[Bug 1614308] [NEW] kwin crashes when booting from Kubuntu 16.04 32bit Live-DVD

[Lars Bischoff]

Public bug reported:

When booting from a freshly burned Live DVD using images
 kubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso or
 kubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
kwin always crashes on my system.

Booting works fine until the plasma background image is appearing.
Also the selection window whether you want to "try" or "install" Kubuntu shows up, but only without window frame. At about the same time I get a crash notification that kwin has crashed.
If I click on "restart" in the crash notification, then after some trials another window (without frame) says: "KWin is unstable. It seems to have crashed several times in a row." and suggests to select another window manager. Of course the Kubuntu ISO does not contain another window manager.

The used hardware is:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ CPU
VIA KT400 Chipset
Mainboard MSI KT4V-L
Gfx: nVidia Geforce 7600 GT (AGP8x card: XFX GF 7600 GT 560M 256MB)

BTW: Booting Ubuntu 16.04 32bit DOES work on the very same system.
