** Description changed: + ### Updated bug description + + Testing the 16.04.1 release candidates I've encountered the above with + both Intel ® GMA4500 and nVidia GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a graphics + chips when booting from the standard boot menu. If the iso boots to the + login screen I can simply click on Live Session User w/o entering any + password and get to a functional live DE. + + I've also encountered installer "crashes" where the installer seemingly + just dies (maybe when the screensaver activates) and after rolling up + the blinds I find that I've landed back at the login screen. In this + case the simple workaround is to start the installation from the + advanced boot menu. + + Selecting either Try Ubuntu GNOME without changes or Install from the + advanced boot menu works perfectly fine without the need to edit or add + any boot parameter. + + This does not affect Ubuntu, so it seems to be Ubuntu GNOME specific. + + ### Original bug description + Testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160222.1 amd64 and I find that selecting Try Ubuntu GNOME from the standard boot menu displays TTY 1 and requests a username but the keyboard appears to enter no text. It will however eventually boot to the login screen. After several tries I find the following steps reproduce the behavior: (1) Boot Ubuntu GNOME Xenial live image, wait for the standard boot menu to appear, and select Try Ubuntu GNOME. (2) You'll find that the screen displays TTY1 + requesting a user name. (3) Do nothing and wait 2 to 3 minutes after which a GUI login screen appears. (4) Click on Live session user and a new screen appears requesting a password. (5) Enter nothing and press Enter and you'll finally get to the live desktop. I was going to upload some pics of what happens but I'm unable to mount my camera in the live session.
