[Bug 872472] Re: Xubuntu Oneiric does not display "remove cd and hit Enter to continue" when installing from desktop cd

[Chris Bainbridge]

I saw this on an install of xubuntu 11.10 i386 on a Thinkpad T42 laptop,
so I tried booting up the CD and shutting down again. Out of maybe 12
shutdowns it froze 3 times. Intermittent, difficult to reproduce. It
looks a lot like bug #628630 - the code that Colin Watson identified
there in /etc/init.d/casper do_stop() appears to be the same point where
this hangs. And by hang, I don't mean a kernel style hang or freeze, I
just mean there is no "Please remove installation" message, but I can
switch virtual terminals and hit enter on the console and it gets echoed
back. The hang point seems to be (I  typed this out on another PC):

The system is going down for halt NOW!
acpid: exiting

 * Stopping early crypto disks...                                 [ OK ]
umount: /run/lock: not mounted

THIS IS WHERE IT HANGS.
IF IT DOESN'T HANG WE GET:

Please remove installation media and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER:
 * Will now halt

Title:
  Xubuntu Oneiric does not display "remove cd and hit Enter to continue"
  when installing from desktop cd

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “casper” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  RELEASE:  Oneiric Ocelot
  CD/DVD VARIANT:  64bit Xubuntu desktop cd
  ISO BUILD:  2011-10-11

  SYMPTOMS:  After completing the installation, the message to restart
  or continue appears on the desktop. Hitting restart results in a text
  screen, with the plymouth throbber. When the throbber stops, the cd
  tray opens.

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Download and burn to cd the 64bit desktop image.
  2. Install from either the menu or the live session icon
  3. Observe when the installation finishes, the message on the desktop.
  4. hit enter to continue to restart
  5. Note their is no prompt after the cd tray opens. The user must know to remove the disk, and hit ENTER to continue.
