After some investigation I think it is a possible race with upstart jobs. If I boot in rescue mode instead of normal boot after the oem-config-prepare step, suddenly X starts, and the user configuration step begin. If I boot with --verbose and without 'quiet splash' on the kernel command line, the boot is much slower and ubiquity starts as expected. This suggests a race of some kind.
A guess is that the upstart job for oem-config starts too early. Removing the following line from the oem-config upstart job: ---- or stopping rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]) ---- to force the oem-config job to start when gdm starts helps to workaround the issue. This is just a suggestion and I don't know if its the right fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650703 Title: oem-config-prepare works, but oem-config fails to start after reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
