Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
While this is the same symptom as in bug 538213, I'm intentionally
reporting a new bug since it's possible my problem has a different
cause.
Pressing Enter after live CD boot (20100317 Ubuntu desktop i386 image)
kills X. This is true either in live session mode (gdm) or when using
ubiquity-dm. This image used plymouth 0.8.0~-15, so I tried remastering
it with 0.8.0~-16, but the same is true there as well. I'm using kvm,
and so plymouth uses the text plugin. I can reproduce this every time.
Between X dying and restarting, a black screen is displayed briefly; on
this screen I see a few junk characters at the top left in (I think) a
reddish colour, specifically "^\◆" (at least the third character looks
like a diamond, I'm not sure exactly which codepoint it is), which looks
rather as if keypresses are being interpreted in a garbage keymap,
probably raw mode.
I've attached a syslog from my remastered image (plymouth 0.8.0~-16)
booted with --verbose in live session mode. The X log says that it
caught SIGQUIT; it's not very informative but I've attached it as well.
When gdm restarts X, the new server ends up on vt8.
