ok, downloaded kubuntu utopic, booted it, the live desktop showed for one half second, more or less, i tried to switch to vt2, no apparent response (similar to OP behavior), tried vt3, after several seconds it switched, i installed the same 2packages as above, and entered the same apport- command, it said "...Use your browser to authorize...Waiting to hear from Launchpad...", i started entering the mongo URL into my phone's firefox, meanwhile xorg was relaunched into a screen prompting for a password, i reswitched to vt3, continued entering the long URL, approved the access, meanwhile the vt3 screen says "ERROR: connecting to Launchpad failed: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:581)
You can reset the credentials by removing the file "/home/kubuntu/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials", but i found no such file.  i reissued the apport- command, it said "...Use your browser to authorize...Waiting to hear from Launchpad...", i typed in another nasty URL, this time it said "*** Collecting problem information...............Do you want to include these logs...", i said yes, and yes including git bisection (tho the last time i tried, neither finding nor following the build instructions proved accomplishable within several hours, after which life presented other things needing attention..).  but, due to xorg being relaunched into the screen asking for a password, i wonder whether the collected information captured anything useful.

Title:
  kubuntu live desktop iso xorg crashes upon launching installer

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  sit down at certain computer that runs xubuntu and lubuntu ISOs just fine, but crashes the kubuntu ISO.
  download kubuntu 14.04.1 desktop iso.
  boot it.
  when the live desktop appears, switch to a virtual console.
  type in ubuntu-bug xorg, without a CR, to be ready.
  switch back to the live desktop.
  launch the installer.
  xorg crashes.
  switch back to the virtual console.  hit CR (thus launching ubuntu-bug).  do these several times, because there's no apparent response.
  eventually the lockup dissolves, and i see the ubuntu-bug interaction, which absorbed the extra CRs by repeating it's query about whether to send the report.
  meanwhile xorg is relaunched into a login screen.
  switch back to the virtual console.  send the report.  it's this one.
