Public bug reported: Not sure what happened here but I just installed Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160306 amd64 and towards the end of the install the screen went blank and displayed a tty1 login prompt. I waited a little while but nothing appeared to be responsive so I did a hard reboot. Surprisingly I was able to boot the new install afterwards but clean-up was not complete. Ubiquity was still installed so the "install release" icon is in the launcher and the live media was still clicked-on in software settings. Maybe the logs will provide some evidence of what happened.
