[lucid] live cd does not shutdown

Forgot to mention that this also occurs upon finishing an install from within the live environment (i.e whilst performing Case ID: uwi-001 from the testing tracker (http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopWhole)

On my amd64 desktop system the CD was not ejected but everything else was the same as above.

It works fine for me. After your CD ejected did you try hitting enter? I remember you had to on 9.10 and when I did here it worked fine...

This works fine if plymouth doesn't start. However if plymouth starts and you get the white Ubuntu logo you can't do anything.

I've hit enter on the logo screen nothing, gone through all the tty screen hitting enter also still nothing.

I can confirm that if plymouth does not start, the Live CD shuts down correctly.

This bug appears specifically to only be reproducible when booting from CD, not when booting from USB.

From #ubuntu-devel: ( http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/01/12/#ubuntu-devel.txt )

[12:43] <davmor2> pitti: An issue I'm assuming due to plymouth has arisen in that there is no dialogue to press enter to continue shutdown once the install has completed
[12:44] <pitti> davmor2: the one in X? that shouldn't be related to plymouth
[12:44] <pitti> ah, the "press enter" after shutdown
[12:44] <ogra> pitti, the one that used to be in usplash
[12:44] <pitti> davmor2: can you please file a bug? (sorry, at sprint this week)
[12:45] <pitti> should be easy to fix, instead of usplash-send use the equivalent plymouth command
[12:45] <davmor2> pitti: no probs I think it is in process now. Is my assumption about it being plymouth correct and will the dialogue show up on a different tty?
[12:46] <pitti> I'm not sure; I'm a plymouth n00b

It takes about 1 minute to shut down. You NEED to hit enter WITHOUT prompt... For CD and USB... Try waiting for the CD to eject or if it doesn't wait at least 3 minutes then hit "enter" or "return"...

The cd is ejected, but is impossible continue shutdown

This is correct and even the Kubuntu website points out that this accusation is correct.

Today i try the daily live of xubuntu and the current problem is present.

have committed an (untested) fix for this to bzr.

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.227

---------------
casper (1.227) lucid; urgency=low

  * casper-md5check: port from usplash to plymouth. LP: #500198

Today's live CDs were built before the fixed casper package was available.
Please try again with tomorrow's CDs.

I' m not sure whether this is the right place to post, but since it is similar (if not is the problem) I'll post it here.
Well lucid beta1 does not shutdown (switch-off) either from livecd or installed. On the contrary it reboots! Even when i use "sudo shutdown -P now" or "sudo shutdown -H now".

emmsarris,

That's unrelated to this issue; please file a separate bug report.

10.04 not responding past login screen

i had this problem on Kubuntu Desktop i386 10.10 Alpha1

i had this problem on mythbuntu Desktop i386 10.10 Alpha1

It appears that the fix for this bug introduced long-standing bug #966480 ("The prompt asking for media removal is not shown at the end of the installation").

    if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] && plymouth --ping; then
        plymouth message --text="$MSG"
