Public bug reported:

This is easy to reproduce: Burn a kubuntu 14.10 plasma 5 ISO, downloaded
from here:

http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14.10

Boot from it.  X will not start, and the machine falls to a command
prompt.  Typing startx starts everything and it's possible to proceed.

I should note that that my machine has an nvidia 560M graphics card in
it, and is running the nouveau driver on the ISO.

Rick Timmis on the kubuntu-developer list notes:

> I can confirm, same problem install fails on init-rcd scriot, and complains about saned, and drops to command prompt.
I>  too typed startx, and was off and running again, amd64 iso, which is 1.2Gd a DVD image.
