[Bug 1905383] Re: Xubuntu hirsute live system, on shutdown no "Please remove the installation medium, then press ENTER:" message appeared

[Chris Guiver]

Sorry Dimitri/xnox.  I didn't notice your reply before now, I was
searching for this due to re-occurrence.

No words appear on screen, except Xubuntu logo (I see as graphics/image)
and a twirling thing below that that just keeps twirling...

It'll sit like that for 2.5 hours (longest I've left it)

I just did a QA-test install of today's daily again on
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
and this issue occurs again...

It occurs only on boxes with lower-resolution 4:3 displays.

This box has two dell displays (technically 2x 1280x1024) but for some
reason one I believe is using only 1024x768 currently, and the daily
(live media) always boots with this box in MIRROR mode so both screens
always show the same thing (the mirror mode isn't unique to Ubuntu;
Debian (non-free live) boots in mirror mode too).

I don't know why the second display is 1024x768; except it dropped to
that when I switched the display from landscape to portrait and I live
with it

Title:
  Xubuntu hirsute live system, on shutdown no "Please remove the
  installation medium, then press ENTER:" message appeared

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Xubuntu hirsute daily installation QA-test on
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

  At completion of install, it suggested I reboot so I was accepted. I
  then got the Xubuntu plymouth screen, and it sat there ...  for >60
  mins

  ** Expected Result

  Xubuntu plymouth close/shutdown screen
  Message "Please remove the installation medium, then press ENTER:"
  I press enter and it reboots

  ** Actual Result

  Xubuntu plymouth close/shutdown screen
  It just sits there... no message (>60 mins for this test)

  On enter it reboots

  ** Extra notes

  See
  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/419/builds/223307/testcases/1300/results
  for my comments at test

  I don't believe this is new, I believe I saw it during the groovy
  cycle too; however just pressed enter

  I also believe it's related to this box screens. This box has 2x
  1280x1024 displays, however on boot of Ubuntu & Debian *live* systems
  the monitors show as mirror'd, and one display is currently running at
  1024x768; being mirrored I think both run at the lower resolution thus
  I believe the 1024x768 screen is the reason this issue occurs.

  The Xubuntu logo was not central on the display; I think it was out
  b/c of displays both running at 1024x768, and the portion out is I
  suspect appropriate if drawn for 1280x1024.

  I can re-create this  (this box only though, which I believe relates
  to video card and/or screen resolution)
