Installation Problems
Desktop CD Install
Alternate CD Install
DVD Install
Installing from dvd and choosing italian results at the end in a full english installation (other languages may also be affected) #39483
Workaround: install manually your own language sudo apt-get install language-support-[lang] kde-i18n-[lang]
Upgrading Problems
Upgrading from breezy uninstalls kubuntu-desktop package #39658

Post Install Problems
Hardware related
CPU Scaling not working #36014
Some multimedia keyboard keys may not function, specifically the Raise Volume key #37341
Workaround: to enable the raise volume key, run xmodmap -e "keycode 175 ="
Using fglrx or ati drivers may cause KDM/xorg to freeze on logout or reboot #30447
Workaround: add (uncomment) the line TerminateServer=true to section [X-:*-Core] in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
- Using the latest fglrx driver (8.25.18) renders GLX unusable for some Radeon based cards
Workaround: use older version of libGL.so.2.1 as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185033
When using some sound cards with an additional usb sound card sometimes the usb sound card will get /dev/dsp0 and get all sounds by default. This was not the case for breezy (or any other distro I stumbled upon) #46996
Installing Software
Add/Remove Programs (adept installer) hangs on installation of packages that require confirmations (for example license, like flashplugin-nonfree, sun-java5-*...) #37696
Workaround: install packages from command line - i.e. sudo apt-get install or sudo aptitude install
Packages installed with Adept may not immediately add icons to the kmenu a#40048
Workaround: run kbuildsycoca to regenerate KDE resource cache, OR log out and log back in, OR open the menu editor and click the 'save' button, OR install packages from command line - i.e. sudo apt-get install or sudo aptitude install
Konqueror
Konqueror crashing on web pages with Real media streams #31055
Workaround: copy fixed profilerc file from the bug attachement to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/profilerc
- Konqueror as integrated viewer of compressed files doesn't work
Workdaround: rm -R /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk/application/
KScreensaver
KDE hooks for xscreensaver-data-extra and xscreensaver-gl-extra are missing #48056
kscreensaver-xsavers is installed but xscreensavers from xscreensaver-* packages are missing #49228
Workaround: sudo sed -i -e 's/TryExec=xscreensaver//' /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/*
Printing
- Printing (CUPS) not working for everyone ( is there a malone report ? if not can we be more specific about what in cups is not working ? did it not automatically setup a printer , did it remove a printer that was automatically setup ? is the cupsd services not starting ? etc etc etc , thanks )
Kurt Pfeifle's blog contains a fairly detailed run down of the problems with the Kubuntu Dapper CUPS setup (as he sees it) from which some bug reports may be distilled: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 3 (Update).
Printing problems with Foomatic drivers #42965
Workaround: run sudo foomatic-cleanupdrivers
Documentation
The release notes (help:/kubuntu/krelease-notes/index.html) are full of typos ("Recomendations", "regulary", "preditctably", "Ubuquity", "seperate", etc.), read unprofessionally ("Wahoo a sweet new installer is available ...!!!!", "FREE of charge!!!!", etc.), and appear to be confused in other ways (a paragraph for "a sweet new installer" that talks about features in Breezy, and then a separate paragraph for Ubiquity which is the actual new installer). ColinWatson would like this to be reviewed by a good copy-editor and fixed in dapper-updates.
Working on fixing the ReleaseNotes both for style and spelling/grammar. Please see JonathanJesse for more information on this.
