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

[Ross Gammon]

Just saw two variations of this with Ubuntu Studio amd64 and Virtual Box
on two different sets of host hardware (desktop and laptop).

Laptop:
Reached the end of the full installation, and got the "Installation complete - you need to restart" dialogue. Clicked to restart and the VM froze with the dialogue showing that I had clicked the button for at least half an hour.  Walked away, and when I came back, the VM had booted into the installed Ubuntu Studio. So a pass, but frustratingly slow.

Desktop:
Reached the end of the full installation, and got the "Installation complete - you need to restart" dialogue. Clicked to restart and the VM slowly removed icons, then went to a blank screen, and hung for at least half an hour. Walked away, and when I came back, the VM had booted into the live Ubuntu Studio installation ISO again. Chose shutdown from the menu, and I am still waiting for the machine to shutdown 20 minutes later.
