Shutdown/Restart of Live Guest after install freezes in VirtualBox

[Nate Olander]

When you attempt Shutdown/Restart of the Live Guest after install, Ubuntu freezes in VirtualBox. What should be happening is that the "Remove Installation Media and Press Enter" message should come up and pressing enter should halt the virtual machine.

This was already reported for the 15.04 release cycle, as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1447038, but is still occurring as of Wily (15.10) Daily build for July 3rd, 2015.

I figured it would be best to report this again and have it marked as duplicate of the aforementioned bug than to not.

Seeing as that other bug was filed against casper, as opposed to ubiquity, I may have filed it incorrectly. However, ubiquity was the package that the Ubuntu Quality Team instructions for reporting bugs states I should report under.

This bug occurs during shutdown, so I can't get the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman files prior to a reboot. So, I have attached /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman instead, as well as /var/log/installer/casper.log.

I'm having issues uploading the /var/log/installer/ files, so here are links to Ubuntu pastes instead:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
