[Bug 1284496] Re: Booting the Ubuntu GNOME live DE from the advanced boot menu results in a largely unusable DE

[Erick Brunzell]

Tim did you look at the attached
/modified.conffile..etc.casper.conf.txt?

It seemed odd that when I filed this bug report apport said I'd modified
"casper" but I'd made no mods, just selected the default English
language and then selected "Try" from the menu.

Going a bit off-topic, but the cross-testing problems I'd mentioned via
PM are due to a faulty DVD drive so I'm headed out to the brick and
mortar store to get a replacement ASAP.

But that faulty drive was not in play during this test.

Title:
  Booting the Ubuntu GNOME live DE from the advanced boot menu results
  in a largely unusable DE

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've not been able to cross-test this against any other flavor ATM,
  but if you boot Ubuntu GNOME 20140225 i386 and enter the advanced boot
  menu, and then select Try Ubuntu you get what appears to be a wrong
  resolution, but the resoltion is correct.

  It appears that some notification is trying to appear as indicated by
  the "half gear" in the lower left corner of the screen, please see
  attached screenshot (I hope).
