Title:
  If Kubuntu installation fails, Plasma crashes when attempting to
  launch once Calamares quits

Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  OS: Kubuntu Noble.
  Hardware: Raw QEMU VM.

  Attempt to install Kubuntu using Calamares. It will fail due to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2054795.
  After installation failure however, Plasma will attempt to launch, and
  then crash, possibly multiple times.

  This is because Calamares is causing /home/kubuntu/.cache to be owned
  by root. This trips up Plasma and causes it to crash.

  The solution is to `chown -R 1000:1000 /home/kubuntu/.cache`
  immediately after kubuntu-installer-prompt exits in
  /usr/libexec/start-kubuntu-live-env. This fixes the ownership of the
  directory before Plasma starts. I've tested this in a VM and it works.
