Public bug reported: OS: Kubuntu Noble. Hardware: Raw QEMU VM.
Attempt to install Kubuntu using Calamares. It will fail due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2054795. After installation failure however, Plasma will attempt to launch, and then crash, possibly multiple times. This is because Calamares is causing /home/kubuntu/.cache to be owned by root. This trips up Plasma and causes it to crash. The solution is to `chown -R 1000:1000 /home/kubuntu/.cache` immediately after kubuntu-installer-prompt exits in /usr/libexec/start-kubuntu-live- env. This fixes the ownership of the directory before Plasma starts. I've tested this in a VM and it works. ** Affects: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Assignee: Aaron Rainbolt (arraybolt3) Status: Triaged ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Aaron Rainbolt (arraybolt3) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2055726 Title: If Kubuntu installation fails, Plasma crashes when attempting to launch once Calamares quits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2055726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
