Bug Description
Users who are trying out the most recent beta are unable to get to X.
Instead they have reported a blank screen/reboot.
This is because several services that *should* start, for whatever reason aren't running at all.
List of services are (in order of execution):
- dbus
- hal
- gdm
Booting into Text-Only mode and running the following currently works around the issue.
sudo restart dbus
sudo start hal
sudo start gdm
Now, since these three services have been converted to an upstart service in Karmic, am going to assume that this is an issue with upstart, and not the init.d scripts.

Just booted plain ubuntu daily-live 2009-10-12 from usb-stick via grub2 loopmount. Booting like that worked well for daily images last week but stopped working with iirc 2009-10-10. Today booting stopped again at a text console. Doing
sudo restart dbus
sudo start hal
sudo start gdm
as described in the bug description did indeed complete the boot and everything seems now fine on first look.
