Comment 6 for bug 1448102

I used the upstart and the non-upstart kernel options for both kernels that I have installed (3.19.0-15-generic and 3.16.0-34-generic) and none of them work for me.

To have some sort of a GUI, I have to login in a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 and startx, it opens a black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle of the screen. As soon as a program crashes, I can use the trace with gdb option from the debugging KDE window to open a konsole instance, open a new tab with ctrl+shift+T, and open programs manually like firefox or thunderbird.

It seems in this environment it only works the System Activity window shortcut with ctrl+ESC.

I'm thinking that a much better solution for me at the moment is to downgrade to KDE4.
