Title:
  ubuntu and zenix unable to start X on liveCD

Status in Zenix - An Ubuntu Zen Remix:
  Fix Released
Status in Zenix zenix-9.10 series:
  Fix Released
Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Users who are trying out the most recent beta are unable to get to X.
  Instead they have reported a blank screen/reboot.

  This is because several services that *should* start, for whatever
  reason aren't running at all.

  
  List of services are (in order of execution):
  - dbus
  - hal
  - gdm

  
  Booting into Text-Only mode and running the following currently works around the issue.
  sudo restart dbus
  sudo start hal
  sudo start gdm

  Now, since these three services have been converted to an upstart
  service in Karmic, am going to assume that this is an issue with
  upstart, and not the init.d scripts.
