Comment 6 for bug 813065

Targeting for oneiric.

There will always be a switch from graphics to text mode here, because the ubiquity menu session has to drop to make room for the "try ubuntu" live session - kill one X server, start the next. What we shouldn't have, though, is any text on this screen when we do so.

The exact text contents there are going to depend on the timing of plymouth vs. /etc/init/rc. The messages generated while plymouth is still running should all be redirected, but once plymouth shuts down they'll go to the console (and are meant to for debuggability if things break partway through). So something needs to take care of clearing the console once we're satisfied that we have a successful boot.

The best time to do this would be right before ubiquity shuts down the first X session. In fact, we might want to arrange to do the same thing from the DM on the running system at shutdown.

BTW, Colin says that these messages should also be logged to /var/log/boot.log, but I'm not sure that's the case when plymouth has already exited.
