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

[Erick Brunzell]

I did just experience this again with the 20110921.1-i386 Lubuntu image
on my old VIA hardware, but I'd had 4 or 5 consecutive boots perform
perfectly fine, so the behavior is inconsistent now.

With 20110920-i386 the behavior was quite consistent, that is each boot
would end at TTY.

I am thinking we should mention this in the release notes for Lubuntu
Beta 2 because the work around, typing "sudo service lxdm start" does
work fine.

Title:
  Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
