An attempt to reproduce this bug on an Oneiric daily-live CD would
reveal a considerably more serious somewhat related problem (it doesn't
tell the user anything or provide any way that a novice would be likely
to guess for how to get a 2D session). I have reported this as bug
788859.

Title:
  Wording of missing 3D support information dialog in live session

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Starting the live CD with insufficient 3D support results in a classic
  two-panel session with an information dialog:

  "Sorry, you don't have 3d support, install it for your graphic
  hardware to get Unity or please reboot and select 'Classic session' at
  startup."

  While this makes sense for installed systems (just '3D' instead of
  '3d' and 'log out' instead of 'reboot'), it doesn't sound very
  rewarding in live sessions. ;-)

  The user probably just wants to know why he cannot see the fancy new
  interface and if he can fix that at a later time (after the
  installation).
