You have been subscribed to a public bug:
If you issue "sudo telinit 1" or "sudo init 1" in a live session, you briefly
see the console
dialog which asks you what to do (and from which in Jaunty you could select
drop into
a root command prompt), but it is immediately replaced by a non-functional gui,
i.e. you
see the desktop background but neither the keyboard nor mouse work (except for
ctl-alt-delete which restarts).
I can't capture the dmesg output because nothing seems to work, but as it
scrolled by
I saw a bunch of messages indicating various processes respawning.
I tried this with the beta karmic desktop livecd on three machines; only on one
of them
did I get a glimpse of the console menu selector. Looking at the various
consoles, there
was a line on one of them which indicated that the system was going into single
user mode.
