Public bug reported: Binary package hint: casper
2 related problems with the Karmic Koala live CD (ubuntu-9.10-rc-desktop-i386.iso): (1) the live CD asks for a password (2) the live CD's gnome session does not work When I boot the Karmic Koala live CD, the gnome display manager (GDM) asks me for a user name and password. I can log in as "ubuntu" and a blank password. However, when I log in with the gnome session, it crashes and goes back to GDM. The xterm session works.
