Okay, so I installed Startup Manager through Synaptic, and used that to configure the splash screen VGA options to 800x600x8bits (VGA=771 in menu.lst), and now I have a splash screen and a hugely decreased startup time. So that's sorted it, awesome. -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Getting the same problem here on AMD64 Gutsy, with an AMD Turion 64 MT-40 (2.2GHz) and an ATI Mobility X1600 with the ATI drivers. Ubuntu starts up, then there's a blank screen for a good 3 or 4 minutes before the login screen appears. No splash screen. This wasn't happening on the 32 bit version of Feisty, same hardware and ATI drivers :( -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So this happens only when you boot the live CD, and it works fine after installation? -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 140759] Re: blank screen during boot on amd64
No it happens everytime. I had originally thought that it was only the liveCD. The reason that I thought that was I had installed Xen, which gives the console by default so I never reported the problem at that point. But once the system actually boot, the Xorg configuration works fine enough. The resolution that it chose (or the default resolution that the user chooses) could be put into the grub.conf file as the vga option. That could solve the problem from that point forward. Being conservative on the liveCD, would be best that way more hardware is supported and works out of the box. -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

adding vga=an appropriate number here seems to work fine. Although, as it finishing loading there is a long period of blank screen. Is there a reason why vga= can't be exist by default? Could it be added dynamically? other options for it to work out of the box? -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 140759] Re: blank screen during boot on amd64
After install, the default resolution would work. I personally would like it to be most conservative before that if it can't be detected right. So, default to 640x480 maybe. -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see you're using the vesa driver.

[Bug 140759] Re: blank screen during boot on amd64
I am actually using the nvidia driver in my Xorg.conf. Is there a different setting for usplash? I just found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275391 It mentions that usplash sometimes doesn't work on amd64. I would be willing to play around with settings, but also a generic good solution to the problem would be good. Again, it is not simply a amd64 problem, as my other amd64 boxes that I have tested on didn't have the problem. Is there a good way to get the usplash specific log(s) that would may help diagnose my problem? -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry, I didn't read your description well enough: it's blank _until_ X starts, so of course it's not a X driver issue like I thought. It must be the way usplash selects and sets the video mode, using the BIOS. ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- blank screen during boot on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
