"audio server error CPU overload"

Not exactly sure what is going on there, but kubuntu is basically ubuntu with the kde desktop
and you can install that from the terminal in ubuntu. Then you can log in to kde or gnome at the log in screen by selecting which one you want by clicking the sessions tab.

If you wish to do this open terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update

and then:

sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

Kde (and Kubuntu) have a different sound system from Gnome/ubuntu. I have seen this error on my test box, and to stop it, I had to go to System Settings, then Sound System. You can try adjusting the "Autosuspend if Idle" to a lower number, say 5 or 10 seconds. This might help it. Also, you can try going to the hardware tab, and change "select audio device' from Autodetect to either Open Sound System or try Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
