installation doesn't prompt for reboot after installing

[karl anliot]

installing with ubiquity, installation goes normally however, when clicking "reboot now" the system doesn't reboot, but instead displays "SYSTEM IS GOING DOWN FOR REBOOT NOW" and freezes. Pressing control+alt+f7 takes me to a console with a different message.

Ubiquity should reboot the pc, even in a VM. I shouldn't have to much around in the console.
To fix this bug, a consistent interface to the user should be presented.

There is a discrepancy between what you say in the bug title and in the bug description. Are you prompted to reboot the system after installing Ubuntu?

Additionallly, are you using a virtual machine? If so which virtualization technology (VMWare, kvm, qemu) are you using?

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

yes, ubuiquity prompts me to reboot, but the virtualbox pc doesn't reboot

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

"
After installation of Ubuntu Quantal Alpha 2 is finished and it says that it terminates all processes to reboot nothing happens. The system doesn't reboot.

Had to reset the VM and start it again.

"yes, ubuiquity prompts me to reboot, but the virtualbox pc doesn't reboot"

Is that open-source virtualbox (from the archive, open-source virtual box (from elsewhere) or Oracle Virtual Box (from Oracle)?

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

And please give the version number of the virtualisation Software you use. If it is VirtualBox there may be known issues on their bugtracker for previous versions than actual ones.

Is the system manually to restart? Or does it not comes up?

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Did you run the installer:
- from full gnome session, aka Try Ubuntu
- or from minimal greeter, aka Install Ubuntu
?
