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

[Erick Brunzell]

I don't know how I'd ever collect any logs from this current borkage
because the only way you can get to the live DE is by rebooting and
selecting the desired boot option from the advanced boot menu. Possibly
if I were using a live USB with persistence the failed boot would be
logged somewhere?

I'm fried right now and just headed off to bed but I'll try Ubuntu
itself tomorrow and see what happens with it. If it can't be reproduced
on another flavor would it still be a kernel issue? Seems odd that it
would affect two vastly different sets of hardware in exactly the same
way.

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

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
