The error had previously been solved by keeping the system up-to-date, but some weeks ago was back again. Purging apparmor after a hint from a friend left me with a fully functional system.

Since at least yesterday, the kontact suite somehow (repeatably) blocks my system:

Shortly (few minutes) after starting kontact (or kmail or korganizer or kaddressbook), cpu load rises up to 100...

Yes, I can access the advanced settings - but there I can only set/modify user specific contact information, access rights and account settings (personal folder, shell, main group, user ID)

Deviating from Ubuntu standard, for compatibility with another system in our network (an intradisk NAS with restricted admin features) I have to stick with user IDs below 1000 (namely 501, 502, ...)...

kadressbook, first started after LogOn, shows two seeming empty addressbooks:

Update: Only adding "debug=" does the job for me, too.

After removing from the boot options "quiet splash" and adding "debug=" (for further maintenance), at least the system got up to the GUI. After a first glance, it appears to be fully functional.

canonical support suggests to try following instructions to install from landscape "#2238 - Install a basic system and upgrade to a full installation".
