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

[flocculant]

mea culpa ...

systemd.debug-shell works - unsurprisingly =shell doesn't, that'll
explain why it worked once and then not again ...

So - got to vt9 - can see plymouth.log

Not seemingly able to do much other than read it in the vt.

However by grepping the log at vt9 against the one I got from inside the
booted system - the last line is exactly the same.

The log that shows once the livesession is booted can be seen at
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15327027/

Not having much luck with journalctl - got the one from the livesession
as a paste, trying to grab the output from vt9 is problematic - would be
simple if I could get networking there ... all I've managed is a bunch
of screenshots of the extra journalctl output.
