I have had to reinstall 11.04 on multi boot hd. When I do the first boot after install, the splash screen that appears just before the desktop freezes.
I have installed Kubuntu on three different computers (all with standard Intel VGA graphics card), and had the same problem.
I found the solution once on google search but can't locate it any more. The solution involved the command line, and disabled compositing, as I recall. That fix worked on all 3 installs.
One post referred to changing kderc compositing from true to false, but there is no reference in that file to compositing.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit:
I just reinstalled using a different CD. I got the same result. Eventually, I discovered a fix. I then went into rescue mode at:
/home/user/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
and changed OpenGLIsUnsafe=true
That solved the problem
This bug occurs before you get to the desktop. I think it would discourage beginners from trying Kubuntu.
