[Bug 854837] [NEW] Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

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.
