[20.04.1] "Try ubuntu" session needs thinking (Getting this bug...)

[Daniel LaSalle]

Again a typical "Sunday "bug"":

When booting from a 20.04.1.ISO from USB on "regular" ATX specs, when using TTY7 and issuing a scp command (one long enough for something(am suspecting power settings to kick in?) to happen) then TTY7 goes full black and only the cursor displays/moves while nothing else is possible (no keyboard shortcut do anything)

To explain myself differently:
1. boot 20.04.1 ISO -> select try ubuntu
2. plug in RJ45 cable, get on LAN
3. ALT+T + cd /somewhere/with/big/files (my source was 12 Gb on GigE LAN)
4. Come back (maybe 15-20 minutes after?) and try resuming your session on TTY7(because it was left that way after step #3): is fully blank yet the mouse curse moves and only shows 2 option: regular mouse pointer and text selecting mouse pointer.

Accessing other TTYs (CTRL+ALT+F1 -> F6) works and displays properly.

Conclusion: live session settings need to be rethought and possibly, even though it's very fun for a end user to have EVERYTHING in place to enjoy the look & feel of UM, including EVERYTHING has drawbacks. One of these cases seem that power settings/options are FAR from being universal and therefore c/would be better left alone in when using UM in that mode.

Or maybe, in other to maximize this usage window(from "try"), power settings should be transformed in such a way that the try mode really works as a publicity stunt and (maybe) that after something like 15 minutes there is a pop-up auto-reminder about registering/licensing/supporting/wouldyouliketoknowmore/intereactiveassistant for the user to be bumped into?

At the end of the day, and only based on my perspective, live systems are covered by 90% of those 2 use cases: 1. used to *quickly* shows the goods/integration/compatibility/etc and last from seconds to maybe max 15 minutes OR 2. used as salvaging/rescue alternative and in which case the process generally takes at least a couple of hours/days to complete.

Thank you for reading this.
