Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Starting the live CD with insufficient 3D support results in a classic two-panel session with an information dialog:
"Sorry, you don't have 3d support, install it for your graphic hardware to get Unity or please reboot and select 'Classic session' at startup."
While this makes sense for installed systems (just '3D' instead of '3d' and 'log out' instead of 'reboot'), it doesn't sound very rewarding in live sessions. ;-)
The user probably just wants to know why he cannot see the fancy new interface and if he can fix that at a later time (after the installation).

An attempt to reproduce this bug on an Oneiric daily-live CD would reveal a considerably more serious somewhat related problem (it doesn't tell the user anything or provide any way that a novice would be likely to guess for how to get a 2D session). I have reported this as bug 788859.
