You can classify it any way that helps an appropriate developer find it,
but as I understand it "casper" is what runs when you "Start" the Live
CD from the initial boot menu. I didn't go to the live session, but
instead did the preliminary CD test. This isn't part of a live
session. It's no more a live session than the memory test launched from
the live CD would be a live session. Both of these are accessory
programs from the boot up menu, not part of the live desktop session.
Moreover, bug #44539 isn't the same at all. That bug involved erratic
failure to bootload the LiveCD, before ever reaching the menu screen.
I'm saying that after the menu displays, I select Check the CD, it
writes the message that it is beginning to check the CD and it will take
some time, but nothing happens and the system just dies. The Check the
CD selection worked on alpha-1, but not on alpha-2 nor today's daily
build. This is a regression or new bug introduced after alpha-1 was
released. The 44539 bug reported long ago is different and not relevant.
When I did launch the Casper live session ("Start or Install" menu item)
the desktop did come up and run okay. Which package includes the CD test
and splash screen on the Live CD? If it's the casper package, you're
classifying it right.
