Bug Description

I have already installed ubuntu 11.10 desktop i386 alpha 1.
Various bugs during the installation but complete installation was possible.

However, when i reboot it was impossible to access to the unity-2d desktop.

I was on a VM with Virtualbox-OSE 4.0.4

Additionally, I attach an screenshot when i reboot the system.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "Reboot screenshot" was flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches. Thanks!

udev (171-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Go back to the real 171.
  * libudev/libudev-monitor.c: Revert the usage of SOCK_NONBLOCK in
    udev_monitor_new_from_netlink_fd(). This causes boot failures (stuck in
    initramfs) for a lot of people. Many thanks to Loic Minier for bisecting
    this!
