[Bug 871936] Re: Live session switches to VT console [nvidia]

[Stéphane Graber]

bug 813065 was for ubiquity-dm not doing the right thing on exit and making the screen flicker (for any driver).
This got fixed by Steve and if I remember well tested on Intel.

This bug seem like an nvidia/nouveau specific flicker bug, would
probably be good to have Steve's opinion on this one.

Title:
  Live session switches to VT console [nvidia]

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After booting the live CD and selecting "Try Ubuntu" I am switched to
  a console while the X server is restarted, it contains many boot
  messages that are not of interest to the end-user.  As far as I
  understand, the X server has to be restarted, but as mentioned in bug
  813065, the console should probably be cleared first to provide a
  smoother end-user experience.

  Whereas bug 813065 is specific to Intel video cards, and appears
  fixed, this bug here is specific to Nvidia video cards.
