[Bug 614088] Re: unity should give an error to the user when not supported by the driver/graphic card

[Thanos Lefteris]

The problem with this is that when the user is at the gdm screen, he
can't login after the message that unity is not working with his setup.
There is no user icon selection in the gdm screen. He must write
"ubuntu" himself. There is no indication that "ubuntu" is the username
of the live cd user. Also he doesn't know the password. I tried several
passwords my self, such as ubuntu/live/guest without luck. So I had to
switch to a virtual terminal, set the password to something I know with
'sudo passwd ubuntu' and get back to the gdm screen and login. A new
Ubuntu user won't be able to workaround it like that.

This is not the right place to report this, but I'm not sure in what
component to Ubuntu I should file it. Or even maybe I'm doing something
wrong during the gdm login? Please advice.

Using Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 RC Live CD.

Thanks
