[Bug 854837] Re: Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

Sun Oct 9 12:55:19 UTC 2011

I was finally able to reproduce it, with desktop ISO 20111007, converted
on an USB stick using usb-creator-gtk.

The system boot, but it seems that lxdm dies during the process. I
included the syslog with debug enable.

The boot start on 12:28, and finish to tty. 
If I do "sudo start lxdm", the system starts correctly. I did it on 12:35, you can see it on the syslog starting on 12:35, with lxdm process 3953. 

Interesting parts :

Title:
  Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “casper” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm testing the Oneiric Lubuntu 20110920-i386 live image and I notice
  that booting to a blank hard drive on my old VIA hardware (I'll attach
  a list later if not collected by apport) results in a TTY prompt which
  may leave some users confused as how to proceed.

  I've repeated this twice and in both instances typing "sudo service
  lxdm start" (without the quotes) results in a DE, that is no need to
  login as "ubuntu", leave password blank, etc.

  This occurred so far only when booting to a blank 80GB drive (errm -
  maybe had one existing partition) to perform an "entire disc"
  installation test. I'm now going to use the same drive to try an auto-
  resize install and I'll report back accordingly.

  I realize this may actually be an lxdm bug but I thought filing
  against casper would collect the best possible info, hope I was right.
