This is indeed the reason why the devs decided to blacklist KMS for the
Lucid release. For workarounds, see this wiki page [1] (ignore Workaround A
in your case obviously). You can follow the progress of the bug you
mentioned above here [2] (please don't post "me too" comments there; the
correct way to "me too" a bug is to edit the "Does this bug affect you too?"
line below the title. This way the affect size can be easily quantified and
also affects the Bug Heat without congesting the comments section).
