[Bug 1548864] Re: Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1 and demands password

[Erick Brunzell]

Still affects the 16.04.1 candidates with this hardware:

AMD Sempron Processor LE-1250 @ 2.2 GHz
nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2)
nVidia MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
nVidia MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
2GB DDR2 RAM

Not sure what other info is needed.

BTW I'll be AFK for several hours but I'll follow up on this ASAP.

Title:
  Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image boots to tty1 and demands password

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160222.1 amd64 and I find that selecting
  Try Ubuntu GNOME from the standard boot menu displays TTY 1 and
  requests a username but the keyboard appears to enter no text. It will
  however eventually boot to the login screen. After several tries I
  find the following steps reproduce the behavior:

  (1) Boot Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image, wait for the standard boot menu to appear, and select Try Ubuntu GNOME.
  (2) You'll find that the screen displays TTY1 + requesting a user name.
  (3) Do nothing and wait 2 to 3 minutes after which a GUI login screen appears.
  (4) Click on Live session user and a new screen appears requesting a password.
  (5) Enter nothing and press Enter and you'll finally get to the live desktop.

  I was going to upload some pics of what happens but I'm unable to
  mount my camera in the live session.
