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

[Erick Brunzell]

I would say just at the end of the plymouth animation. On installed
systems I've never seen it appear longer than 5 to 10 seconds. Unless
you're sitting and watching the boot process you'd never know it
happens. Even during this extended 2 to 3 minute period of display we've
seen with some of the live images it's not possible to enter anything
using the keyboard, so it's just like something is running in the
background and sits there pondering its next move for a moment..

I have tried with the recent "bad" images booting from the advanced boot
menu with quiet splash removed and I didn't see anything of interest. If
this crops up again with the live images I'll try and grab some pics.
With any luck this will become a non-issue.

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.
