Actually, I wasn't able to get this to repeat. It occurred on an AMD64 with 512MB RAM as I was exploring the K menu (not actually opening any apps) while ubiquity was doing the initial load. The system didn't crash - just the screen went blank. I could see the hdd light blinking, so the file load was still continuing in the background. When I stroke the touchpad, or press a key, the normal 'unlock screen' dialog opens up. The problem is that there's no password for the 'ubuntu' user, so I didn't know how to unlock it again. When I started over, and sat on my hands during the load, it worked fine, so there's the possibility that I somehow fat-fingered some hotkey to lock the screen. Is there such a hotkey defined in the X config of the LiveCD? If so, is it recoverable? Since there's no password defined for the 'ubuntu' user that is active in a liveCD session, how would one unlock the screen in that case?
