After reboot found the following: Window had no frames; focus seemed to follow mouse (good); windows could not be resized or moved. Could not have more than one desktop (instead of twelve) Bottom panel chaos - icon order seemed to be random could only have one application open at a time as everything was placed to the left of the screen. Useful work impossible; could not run firefox to report this bug To make this report I have had to fudge a system using an ex laptop disc in an USB enclosure. System configuration: ASUS machine, 1TB+2TB discs (plus 1TB 2.5" disc USB), 6GB ram, Intel i5-2320 cpu screen 1680x1050 Kubuntu 14.04 beta-1 had been working OK for 4 days Perhaps this needs to be copied to Canonical; (difficult with my makeshift system!)
I have tried again and have found more problems! Tried to load synaptic to effect an offered software update; couldn't get past the authentication dialog. Had to resort to recovery mode and run 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Unfortunately the upgrade did not effect a solution.
If you still have issues with the official 14.04 release, please report each issue separately. Having multiple of them in one ticket makes it unmanageable in Bugzilla.
