Because the error occurs when running the live LiveDVD I don't see how I could use gbd with a debug version it because I presume the components of the DVD are fixed. The same applies to running with a later version of kde.

Sorry if that leaves little to go on and do correct me if I'm wrong (I'm no expert).

You can install soft on the live, but indeed all debug, maybe not.
