I can't believe that there seems to be no demand for running the newest Kubuntu-Version in a VM except us. I tried with VMPlayer and VirtualBox on several Hosts.

[Bug 1627348] Re: Live DVD boots to black screen with mouse pointer
Tried the released image today. Still the same result. Seems to be a race-condition while booting the vm. After resetting the hanging session several times (sometiems getting a popup saying: "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system"), I got into the login-screen and all worked, until next reboot. Because this affects the released version, should I open a new bug for this issue ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627348 Title: Live DVD boots to black screen with mouse pointer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1627348/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

@Ibischoff: You are right. It was only luck that I got into the live session and was able to start the installation on the vmplayer-machine. I wasn't able to start the installed system. How can anyone help to test, if it doesn't work in a virtual-machine ? I have no spare real system to do it.

Just tested yakkety-desktop-i386.iso from 06-Oct-2016 both in VirtualBox and on TravelMate. Issue is still exactly the same as described above. @Woko: I also doubt that this is related, because this issue here is completely unrelated to UEFI!
