Again a typical "Sunday "bug"":

When booting from a 20.04.1.ISO from USB on "regular" ATX specs, when using TTY7 and issuing a scp command (one long enough for something(am suspecting power settings to kick in?)) TTY7 goes FUBAR and only the cursor works/shows (As both an arrow and as text selecting cursor).

To explain myself differently:
1. boot 20.04.1 ISO -> select try ubuntu
2. plug in RJ45 cable, get on LAN
3. ALT+T + cd /somewhere/with/big/files (mine was 12 Gb on a 10/100/1000)
4. Come back (maybe 15-20 minutes after) and try using TTY7: is fully blank yet the mouse curse moves and only shows 2 option: regular point and text selecting tip.

Accessing other TTYs (CTRL+ALT+F1 -> F6) works and displays properly.

Conclusion: live session settings need to be rethought and possibly, even though it's very fun for a end user to have EVERYTHING in place to enjoy the look & feel, it has other costs. Maybe total disregard power settings when using life? Or maybe add an auto-reminder after 15(?) minutes of usage that user is on a life system and that they should install (We appreciate your time but we would like to remind you that this system will expire in 45 minutes(or whatever you think is the right course of action).

At the end of the day, and most often than not in my perspective, live systems are either used to *quickly* shows the goods (max 15 minutes) OR be used as salvaging/rescue systems and in which case the process can take several hours/DAYS to complete. In both scenario it would be fun if UM could acomodate and consider those perspectives.

Cheers
