As of today, there has been a regression: in the absence of an xorg.conf file, the initial resolution is again set to 1600x1200. It's possible to use the Monitors dialog to set the res. to 1024x768, but before that is done, the login screen's bottom panel is inaccessible, so that the GUI mode can't

Apparmor is not the problem. The Lucid final-release live cd still will not boot on this system, that is, it's impossible to log in. It's still impossible to use the console text screens when Lucid is installed on this system. Contrary to the 'Fix released' status at the top, this is NOT fixed.

As of today, this bug is still in effect. The most important issue is that text consoles can't be used. Booting and screen sizing issues can be worked around, especially for the Gnome version, since the System>Preferences>Monitor dialog is accessible from top-panel menus; that's more difficult in
