** Description changed: Binary package hint: upstart - Ubuntu Jaunty used to drop you into a console when you added 'text' to - the kernel bootup options. Karmic drops you into a login prompt on the - livecd instead. This is a problem because I don't know what the - username or password is on the live cd. + When I boot the livecd with the 'text' option I get a text mode login prompt. In all previous releases this used to drop you into bash logged in as 'ubuntu'. + + Tested on the Karmic September 24 daily iso. - Tested on the Karmic September 22 daily iso. - - I need the console 'text' mode because X is crashing on startup. - Several of the X troubleshooting wiki pages mention booting into 'text' - mode if startup fails. + I need some formed of logged in text mode to diagnose a problem with X + on livecd startup. My screen shuts off shortly after X starts. I would + like to raise a bug with the xorg logs but I cannot get at them when + this login prompt in the way hence this bug.
