    Kubuntu Live CD Does Not Load GUI

    When you see the first menu, there are some "F" key options at the bottom. You want the one called "Safe Graphics" -- I think maybe it is F6.

    First, see if it is ALREADY running and you've been bumped into a console:

    ps aux | grep kde

    If that shows some listing then use ALT+F7 to get back to the KDE GUI.

    If that does not show anything then issue

    startkde &

    If that fails to start KDE then you have a video driver problem. In that case issue

    lspci

    and report back what your video driver is.

      Hi GreyGeek and dibl - Thanks for the rapid response. My computer is a Dell Pentium-IV with Intel on-board graphics. I had read on the forum about driver problems with this, but was able to get WUBI to work. When you both mentioned video issues, I added a nVidia card and Kubuntu Live CD booted right up.

      Thanks for the help. . .
