[Bug 1548864] Re: Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1

[Erick Brunzell]

This is back in all its glory in Ubuntu GNOME 20160225.1 amd64. It boots
to a screen showing tty1, then if you wait about 3 minutes the login
screen appears and you can login with no password. I'll follow up with
journalctl info later, right now I'm checking on more serious bugs.

I do notice some difference in behavior with different hardware. On
these two sets of hardware the behavior is as described above:

(1) Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.60GHz w/Intel GMA4500 Graphics
(2) Intel Atom 230 @ 1.60GHz w/Intel 82945G/GZ Graphics

On this third set of hardware I get the tty1 screen but all I have to do
is wait a minute or so and booting to the live DE proceeds w/o ever
displaying the login screen:

(3) AMD Sempron LE-1250 @ 2.2 GHz w/nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce
630a]

As stated above this seemed to be fixed for a few builds but is sadly
now back.

Title:
  Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160222.1 amd64 and I find that selecting
  Try Ubuntu GNOME from the standard boot menu displays TTY 1 and
  requests a username but the keyboard appears to enter no text. It will
  however eventually boot to the login screen. After several tries I
  find the following steps reproduce the behavior:

  (1) Boot Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image, wait for the standard boot menu to appear, and select Try Ubuntu GNOME.
  (2) You'll find that the screen displays TTY1 + requesting a user name.
  (3) Do nothing and wait 2 to 3 minutes after which a GUI login screen appears.
  (4) Click on Live session user and a new screen appears requesting a password.
  (5) Enter nothing and press Enter and you'll finally get to the live desktop.

  I was going to upload some pics of what happens but I'm unable to
  mount my camera in the live session.
