2016-02-23 18:06:43 Erick Brunzell description Testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160222.1 amd64 and I find that selecting Try Ubuntu GNOME from the standard boot menu displays TTY 1 and requests a username but the keyboard appears to enter no text. However if I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete repeatedly I end up at a login screen and simply pressing enter takes me to a live session. I was going to upload some pics of what happens but I'm unable to mount my camera in the live session.

It will however eventually boot to the login screen. After several tries I find the following steps reproduce the behavior: (1) Boot Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image, wait for the standard boot menu to appear, and select Try Ubuntu GNOME. (2) You'll find that the screen displays TTY1 + requesting a user name. (3) Do nothing and wait 2 to 3 minutes after which a GUI login screen appears. (4) Click on Live session user and a new screen appears requesting a password. (5) Enter nothing and press Enter and you'll finally get to the live desktop.

If the iso boots to the login screen I can simply click on Live Session User w/o entering any password and get to a functional live DE. I've also encountered installer "crashes" where the installer seemingly just dies (maybe when the screensaver activates) and after rolling up the blinds I find that I've landed back at the login screen. In this case the simple workaround is to start the installation from the advanced boot menu. Selecting either Try Ubuntu GNOME without changes or Install from the advanced boot menu works perfectly fine without the need to edit or add any boot parameter. This does not affect Ubuntu, so it seems to be Ubuntu GNOME specific. ### Original bug description Testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160222.1 amd64 and I find that selecting Try Ubuntu GNOME from the standard boot menu displays TTY 1 and requests a username but the keyboard appears to enter no text.
