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.
