[Bug 854837] Re: Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

[Erick Brunzell]

To all involved, I'll be glad to test any daily build requested, or
anything else. ATM my old VIA box has just been "sleeping" after
attaching the log requested by Colin.

Well "sleeping" may be misleading. I just tweaked the screensaver
settings to let the back-light on the monitor die to save resources, but
I'm still booted into that last "failed" boot in case Colin needed more
info.

I have not tried any Lubuntu live daily build since Beta 2. I certainly
can but I've been operating on the cheap due to extremely high utility
bills and remodeling costs.

But I have the resources needed to complete both Ubuntu and Lubuntu
final iso-testing, with a very comfortable margin for several rebuilds
if needed ;^)

Once Julien says the changes are applied to any given daily build I'm
ready to go.

Title:
  Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “casper” source package in Oneiric:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm testing the Oneiric Lubuntu 20110920-i386 live image and I notice
  that booting to a blank hard drive on my old VIA hardware (I'll attach
  a list later if not collected by apport) results in a TTY prompt which
  may leave some users confused as how to proceed.

  I've repeated this twice and in both instances typing "sudo service
  lxdm start" (without the quotes) results in a DE, that is no need to
  login as "ubuntu", leave password blank, etc.

  This occurred so far only when booting to a blank 80GB drive (errm -
  maybe had one existing partition) to perform an "entire disc"
  installation test. I'm now going to use the same drive to try an auto-
  resize install and I'll report back accordingly.

  I realize this may actually be an lxdm bug but I thought filing
  against casper would collect the best possible info, hope I was right.
