[Bug 579313] Re: X crashes after pressing enter or 2 in 10.04 final release

[Eliah Kagan]

Indeed, in all recent Oneiric daily-lives, this occurs when "Try Ubuntu
without installing" is selected from the text-based boot menu, but not
when that menu is bypassed and "Try Ubuntu" is selected in the graphical
ubiquity-dm dialog. Furthermore, after a complete installation is
carried out with Ubiquity, the graphical live session stops exhibiting
this behavior. There might be additional intricacies that I have not
identified. Please see duplicate bug 798509 for details. I have tested
this on two machines of different hardware, and Eric Appleman has posted
here confirming for Oneiric as well. So far no one has reported
following the above instructions on Oneiric and failing to reproduce
this bug--it would probably be good of more people could test, to ensure
this is really happening for everyone in Oneiric (as it appeared that it
wasn't, in Lucid).

I am not sure if this is really a bug in plymouth, at least as it occurs
in Oneiric. But I don't consider myself qualified to tell. In duplicate
bug 798509, I posted some logs that I believe indicate this may be a
problem with key mapping in X.

I've changed this bug's title and tagged it to make clear that this
affects Oneiric. If no one objects soon, I'll edit the description to
reflect that as well.

  daily-lives

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  This bug looks like the bug #532047 in beta-1. I have installed Lucid
  Lynx final release (system is fully updated right now) and this bug
  persists :-( Whenever I boot and press <Enter> or <2> X crashes and
  restart, It's annoying !
