Unfortunately neither approach was successful. This is on a clean install of kubuntu 10.04. Oh dear.
Of course, it may be a kubuntu/ubuntu package bug. But in this case, one would expect at least an error message from moodle ie this is definitely *at least* a bug in moodle.
I am reverting to kubuntu 9.10 (I recall getting this working at some point).
Thanks
Tom
