Ubuntu-bug requires a fully running system including X and desktop and internet browser.

There's no way to do ubuntu-bug from Ctrl-Alt-F1 and get to the browser if the desktop is borked.

Yes, from command line Ctrl-Alt-F1 I can run a report, but then when I log on from a desktop that will work, the Ubuntu bug shooter says they can't use the report.

So what I did, like just now, booted the 06 June daily build, gets a blue screen which then turns to a red screen.

Absolutely no way to file a ubuntu-bug report from there since "red screen" does not support a browser.

So I did Ctrl-Alt-Del, did a logout, did a login as user looked at the desktop which said Ubuntu. That's the problem. If I log in I get red screen since there's no Ubuntu support in the Live code.

I then selected Ubuntu 2D which works since Live has the code for that and enables me to write this comment. Then I did ubuntu-bug which works, and that is likely what you see on the default desktop. Is there any way for you to see what the initial default was as booted? I looked at /var/log/syslog but I don't know enough about boot scripts to see anything. Is there another log which would show what the default desktop is?

Let me try to take a couple digital pictures of the screen.
