Bug Description

Beta testing the Xubuntu Jammy daily DVD this weekend, I find that it still does not display any "press a key to continue" once the installation finishes, it shuts down, ejects the DVD... instead left with a completely black screen and blinking cursor in the top left corner.

Pressing a key indeed correctly restarts the computer. Display defect only... behaves operationally as expected.

Confirmed that the current daily of Jammy Ubuntu Server does not share this defect. Good!

Ubuntu Server properly displays the console text shutdown... and the machine just up and rebooted itself as I was here trying to type exactly what the message should be! Doh! Oh well, lost it for now. Point remains, Ubuntu Server installer still displays the message which the Xubuntu should also display. Borrow IP from there... ;-)

I managed to get to the end finally on a Jammy Server installation. So the text there is as follows:

Please remove the installation medium, then press ENTER:
Unmounting /cdrom...
[FAILED] Failed unmounting /cdrom.

(But the drive actually ejected as expected.)

You may want to rename or create a new ticket for the Server installation issue.

@Sean Davis, Nay no issue with Ubuntu Server. What I was saying is Ubuntu Server correctly displays the text that Xubuntu used to have. Go look at Ubuntu Server for a working example.

Good to know this is a known / reported issue. Thank you for merging.
