ubiquity-dm and install ubuntu both boot to a black screen.
the live session works fine and is running unity7

diff between 20170602 and 20170601 attached.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

gnome-shell aborts due to org.gnome-login-screen schemas not being installed.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Fix (verified working on a freshly installed artful machine):

$ sudo apt install libgdm1

[Iain Lane (laney)]

That's not a proper fix, as it would require promoting gdm.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Robert, are you working on this?

Ken partially reverted the change on Friday night, so Unity is back on the images.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

I have not started any work on this, but the solution looks like we'll have to not check these keys when we don't have the GDM GIR file (probably easier than doing the GSettings schema check).

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

A couple more checks seems to have solved this in 3.24.2-0ubuntu6

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.24.2-0ubuntu6
