[Bug 539020] Re: Lucid Beta 1 installation CD gives blank screen and freezes

[Colin Watson]

Firstly, projects are for use once a bug has been identified by a
developer and is being passed upstream.  They are not for use for users
reporting bugs against a distribution, unless those users are explicitly
testing upstream code.  That's the difference between "Also affects
project" and "Also affects distribution" near the top of Launchpad bug
pages.

Secondly, the main splash screen (the one with "Ubuntu 10.04" and the
dots) is plymouth, but the freeze seems to happen upon entering X.  That
could be in any of several places: plymouth (on the way out), xorg (on
the way in), linux (for some kind of hardware-related trouble in
between).  The reason I assigned it to "linux (Ubuntu)" was because that
was my best guess.  Where it's *least* likely to be is xsplash, because
xsplash is just an ordinary userspace application that drew some stuff
on top of X, and if that hangs the system, it's probably X's fault, not
xsplash's.  In any case, more recent daily builds no longer contain
xsplash at all.

This is all moving very quickly, and it would be helpful to track daily
builds to see how they're doing.
