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

[Tim]

I think i mis-read re comment #23, so you do see the Try Ubuntu screen
(ubiquity-dm), so casper should have run (can you check if autologin
options are enabled in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf.

>From your previous journal logs it looks like gdm is spawned 3 times
with the first 2 failing. Though I can't really see what is different
between the first 2 and the last. Still would like to see the new logs
(there has been a new Xorg and kernel since last time)

DRI is broken in all three (Comment #13), which means hardware GL will
always be broken. You should probably file a kernel bug for that as its
likely hardware specific. Does OpenGL rendering work on an installed
desktop system or when you boot from advanced menu? This isnt likely to
be causing the issue, it should fallback to software rendering, although
sometimes maybe it doesnt. Also gnome-shell can be quite laggy with
software rendering on weaker hardware

Title:
  Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1 and demands password

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.
