[Bug 1384095] Re: Fails to reboot after installing Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 release candidate in KVM

[Marius Gedminas]

Tried this again (but with LVM and encryption enabled), got stuck at the
reboot stage again.

Ctrl+Alt+Del in the VM emits a broadcast message on /dev/tty1 about
rebooting, but doesn't reboot.

I figured out how to send magic SysRq commands (Ctrl-Alt-2, sendkey alt-
sysrq-s, then Ctrl-Alt-1 and Alt-Left/Right to make it refresh the
screen, otherwise the alt-sysrq command output does not appear).
Alt+SysRq+l/t/w are disabled by the kernel and my qemu froze before I
got to Alt+SysRq+e/i/k.

Title:
  Fails to reboot after installing Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 release candidate
  in KVM

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was testing Ubuntu GNOME utopic-desktop-amd64.iso (final release
  candidate, downloaded today) with testdrive in KVM .

  When the installation was complete and I was prompted to reboot, I
  accepted.  Then I ended up staring at this text screen for 10 minutes
  (I timed it): https://twitter.com/mgedmin/status/524825755566751744

  During this time I could switch between virtual consoles with Alt-F1,
  Alt-F2, Alt-F3, Alt-F7.

  Pressing Enter did nothing in any of the consoles.

  I did not think to try Ctrl+Alt+Del, and I couldn't use Alt+SysRq in
  KVM.
