I tested both Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME 20160226 amd64 images and they're good. Well, to be really picky the Ubuntu GNOME image does show the tty1 text very briefly like in bug #557000. That's been a very minor issue as long as I can remember. I've never seen it on a live image before but I still see it on every cold boot of my production machines running Trusty.

It's really a fake tty1 prompt because you can't enter anything or log in to a shell, and in most cases it's gone within just a few seconds. The exception has been with some recent Ubuntu GNOME images where that tty1 text appears on a black screen just before the live DE displays. It's odd that some images have been OK and some have not since about the 21st.

Hopefully it won't rear its ugly head again, in which case we can just mark this fix released.
