Bug Description

Testing todays (7th Sept 2018) of cosmic.

Using virtualbox. Set to boot the ISO using EFI option.

Select Try Ubuntu option from ISO Grub.

Expected to see the live session. Instead saw the login window. I had to login using ubuntu-budgie / ubuntu-mate to see the live session.

Tested both Ubuntu Mate and Ubuntu Budgie

Apologies if I raised this against the wrong package!

Just subscribing Mate Devs - this still appears to be happening on the latest ISO's for Ubuntu Mate and Ubuntu Budgie.

Any thoughts where the issue should reside? Possible thoughts on how to tackle?
