Testing - lack of proper messages post-install

[Lance]

I noticed that this had been reported on the QA Tracker by Manuel Cuadra:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/966480

But either those bug stats need to be updated by someone or a new bug filed.

Can Tim or Jeremy help out there?

Thanks in advance,

Lance

Oops, that should have said:

you should see a message saying to "remove installation media/close tray/press enter"


The lack of the word "media" made it nonsensical ....... sorry,

Lance

After that you should see a message saying to "remove installation/close tray/press enter", so I'm sometimes also not seeing that. Without the proper instruction one could easily think that a hard reboot is the only way to proceed, but simply removing the installation media and pressing enter does work.

So it has something to do with the proper message not being displayed which creates confusion. I'm now cross-testing Lubuntu to see if it does likewise ;^)

I install directly from the live CD - this gives two options - to try
Ubuntu without installing and to install Ubuntu. I choose the second
option. Once the installation is complete a window pops up telling you
that a reboot is required. I choose to reboot. After this the screen
goes black and then the CD is ejected. After that the screen remains
black a control-alt-delete is required to restart the computer.

Sounds like the the computer is not getting the restart signal.

Cheers,

Joe
