Emulator shows black screen after booting up

[XiaoGuo, Liu]

After emulator is booted up and it is logged in, it shows black screen in the middle. However, the status panel is still visible, and the launch can be seen as well. This problem happened on my desktop (later on somehow it worked). Now, I am testing it on my live USB, and it seems to be very sticky. The emulator uses the rtm channel.

ubuntu-kylin@ubuntu-kylin:~$ adb shell
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 9
device name: generic_x86
channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$

Attached please find the screenshots

add ore steps to reproduce

It's most likely unity8-dash dead or launched in wrong order.

1. Please include the log in /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/unity8-dash.log
2. Please see if there is crash data in /var/crash/*unity8-dash*

If you find the files, please upload them to this bug report.

You can verify the unity8-dash is running or not by this command
$ initctl list|grep -i unity8-dash

and restart it to se if the user interface come back as you expected
$ restart unity8-dash

Today, I tried 4 more USB sticks, and the problem did not appear. It used to happen on one USB stick, and it was consistent. We may change it to invalid.

@Rex

Xiaoguo and i recheck the bug and we found if we restart the unity8-dash in adb-shell.
The emulator black screen doesn't reproduce again.

Attached the log of unity8-dash.log

[XiaoGuo, Liu (liu-xiao-guo)]

Yes, this was confirmed yesterday when we were together.
