Bug Description
I'm testing the Oneiric Alpha3 release candidate (20110801-i386) and find that the live CD always boots to the login screen displaying either Guest or other. The user must select other, then type ubuntu, press enter, then leave password blank and press enter again.
I was unsure as whether to file this against lightdm or casper so I guessed :^)
BTW this behavior is consistent whether I boot from the hidden boot menu selecting Try Ubuntu or if I let the boot menu pass and just select Try Ubuntu from the standard menu.
Minor issue to be sure but I know from experience that some users will not be aware how to boot the live desktop.

As far as instructing someone how to login this is better than the above:
Select other, then type ubuntu, then click on login, leave the password blank and click on login again.
That's more consistent than using the enter key.
