Public bug reported: The newest ISO image of Ubuntu GNOME Xenial Xerus does not launch the graphical installer on boot. Instead, it waits at the text-based login screen. I can log in using the default username of 'ubuntu-gnome' and start the X server with 'sudo startx.' Note that just 'startx' does not work; the command must be run as root. I am able to proceed with the installation as normal after starting X.
After the system is fully installed, the problem persists. X can still be started manually after login.
