I was determined to get the whole contents of /var/log using Ctrl-Alt-F1 when I reproduced a hang the second time. Strangely enough, the reboot- hang did not happen the 2nd time. So, I backed off and tried a 3rd time and the reboot proceeded as expected.
All 3 times, I used the same preexisting Linux Mint 17.1 (Rebecca) installed partition and swap partition as a starting point and the exact same thumb drive contents of Xubuntu 14.04.2. Note that this consumed a lot of time but it is worth it from my own experience as a recipient of bug reports. In the interest of everyone's time, I'll close this as unreproducible. If Daniel Mehrman can reproduce his observations consistently, I suggest that he reopen this bug report or create a new one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1419372 Title: After install completes, Xubuntu 14.04.2 hangs on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1419372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
