2009-09-24 19:48:16 Michael Fletcher description Binary package hint: upstart Ubuntu Jaunty used to drop you into a console when you added 'text' to the kernel bootup options. Karmic drops you into a login prompt on the livecd instead. This is a problem because I don't know what the username or password is on the live cd. Tested on the Karmic September 22 daily iso. I need the console 'text' mode because X is crashing on startup. Several of the X troubleshooting wiki pages mention booting into 'text' mode if startup fails. Binary package hint: upstart When I boot the livecd with the 'text' option I get a text mode login prompt. In all previous releases this used to drop you into bash logged in as 'ubuntu'. Tested on the Karmic September 24 daily iso. I need some formed of logged in text mode to diagnose a problem with X on livecd startup. My screen shuts off shortly after X starts. I would like to raise a bug with the xorg logs but I cannot get at them when this login prompt in the way hence this bug.
