Comment 3 for bug 557000

Thanks Steve, that was a wild guess on my part. Before I get started I want to clarify above all else that this should be considered very low priority, as it only occurs on the very first boot after installing, and it passes so quickly (3 to 4 seconds) that if you'd blink you'd miss it. Also, whether or not you take any action with the keyboard, the boot process completes successfully.

For the same reasons mentioned above (I'll have to do a fresh install to perform each test) I want to clarify exactly when to run "sudo initctl list". Remember that keyboard input either does not effect the boot process when that appears, or I simply can't input my five character username + Enter quickly enough to effect the boot process.

So should I Ctrl + Alt + F1 the moment that text login prompt appears to get a functional tty and then run the command? Or should I go ahead to the desktop and then run the command?

I'm thinking the prior but I'd like to be sure.

BTW many thanks to you all for making Lucid so awesome. It's looking really great!
