fresh install Kubuntu 14.04 (15.10 same problem) XServer never starts

Sat Nov 7 11:47:13 PST 2015

I've tried everything that You said and more with only xorg* and with only
xserver*, but I always get error Unable to correct problems, you have held
broken packages

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold is empty and anothersudo apt-get update
after sudoapt-get autoremove

I also tried sudo remove xorg* xserver* but even then install xorg* and
xserver* does not work then I used sudo tasksel and selected
kubuntu-desktop and active and full

Still no result. Please help me again, thanks, Gregor
