Bug Description

On the Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Herd 1 AMD64 desktop CD, the installer fails to start at all.

Once the desktop CD has started, clicking on the installer on the desktop results in a bouncing icon just underneath the mouse, after a while (30-40 seconds), the icon goes away and the process removes itself from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The installation process doesn't start. Repeatedly clicking on the installer results in the same thing.

Hardware information:

ASUS A8N-E Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (s939)
2x 1GB Corsair Value Select DDR400 PC 3200 RAM in dual channel

Logitech Lx700 keyboard/mouse

Thanks for your bug report. Feisty Herd 2 has been released recently. Could you try the installer again with that CD?
