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

[Ali Jawad]

lubuntu-11.10-beta2-desktop-i386

Try Lubuntu without installation does not work and drop you to CLI.
Typing "starx"  command will take you to LXDE Desktop with LXDE
wallpaper instead of Lubuntu Desktop. There is an icon on the LXDE
Desktop to Install Lubuntu.

- Hardware: P4 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 40GB IDE HDD - Intel Graphics
- HDD has many partitions and I'm multi-booting several Distros.
- Lubuntu to be installed in sda9 - 3.91GB.

I've had the same issue with Lubuntu 11.04 and it seems I still have it
with Lubuntu 11.10 beta 2. Try Lubuntu from "LiveCD" always end to CLI
instead of Lubuntu Desktop. This time, with Lubuntu 11.10 beta 2, I
ended up with LXDE Desktop instead of Lubuntu Desktop when I typed
"startx".

Title:
  Lubuntu live image boots to TTY

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  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.
