[Bug 1225899] [NEW] installation finished gracefully, but did not reboot when told to

[sudodus]

Public bug reported:

Yesterday I ran saucy-desktop-amd64.iso in an Ubuntu Host running
lubuntu-desktop with a not fully up to date 12.04.2 LTS.

(1) The installation proceeded as it should (it finished gracefully),

(2) I discovered, that the installed system boots to grub, but then
nothing happens (only black screen in the virtual machine window).

So something seemed to be wrong. I looked more into it today.

A. I updated/upgraded the host operating system.

B. I zsynced saucy-desktop-amd64.iso (an received the next daily build).

And I tried again:

(1) The installation proceeded as it should (it finished gracefully),
but *did not reboot* when told to. I had to shut down the virtual
machine 'from the outside'. I think this is a bug.

(2)  This time I could boot into a working installed Lubuntu 64-bit
system with graphics and 'everything' works in the installed system.
