[Bug 1361962] Re: If started from the advanced boot menu Ubuntu GNOME Utopic live session boots to TTY prompt

[Erick Brunzell]

Looking now ........... some notes (mostly to self) in case things crash
before I find what I'm looking for;

sudo service gdm start shows gdm is already running

Ctrl+Alt+F7 takes me to the screen displayed in the attached screenshot

Ctrl+Alt+F1 takes me back to a TTY and then sudo service gdm restart
gets me to what seems to be a working DE

I'll try to follow up with some logs if I can find anything that appears
pertinent.

Title:
  If started from the advanced boot menu Ubuntu GNOME Utopic live
  session boots to TTY prompt

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm testing Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140826 i386 and just as the title
  says, if I choose Try without installing from the advanced boot menu I
  end up at a TTY prompt. Typing startx does take me to a partially
  functional DE, but not functional enough to copy the attached photo or
  file the bug report so none of the logs will be of any particular use
  other than verifying the live media being used.

  The live session starts and runs normally if started from the normal
  Try or Install screen so this is not a big deal for a Beta 1. Probably
  worth mentioning in the release notes though.
