[Bug 1447038] Re: Shutdown/Restart of live session guest does not work in Virtualbox, KVM or VMWare

[Michael Lueck]

I used Xubuntu xenial-desktop-amd64.iso on 20160113 and in VirtualBox
PLEU 5.0.12 r104815 and the installer still gets hung after it has
ejected the ISO. I know it ejects as VirtualBox flips back from having
the ISO mounted to the drive being empty.

Should not it then get to some message about pressing any key to
restart? Pressing keys did nothing to cause a restart of the VM.

I used VirtualBox's hard reset and the VM boots up just fine. Does not
look completely fixed to me.
