[Bug 150930] Re: Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation
Hi Saïvann I did not fix the problem in gutsy, I used nosplash at grub instead. So perhaps that means that this was an old usplash.conf as you say. I changed the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf in hardy and the problem went away. My resolution is 1440x900. -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 150930] Re: Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation
Åskar : Thanks for your comment, can your provide the following informations? 1. Did you fix the problem while you used Gutsy with the workaround? If not, no need to go further, installing a brand new Hardy system should not have this bug, but if you already have wrong values in /etc/usplash.conf and that you upgrade, nothing will change, Hardy will keep the existing values in /etc/usplash.conf. 2. If the problem suddenly appeared with Hardy, can you attach your /etc/usplash.conf ? 3. Can you also say what is the resolution of your screen as you can see in System / Preferences / Screen Resolution ? If the values in /etc/usplash.conf were already the same as your actual screen resolution and that you still get this bug, you might have bug 205990. -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 150930] Re: Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation
xserver-xorg.postinst no longer sets up xserver- xorg/config/display/modes; instead, the X server deals with mode configuration at run-time. This means that usplash.postinst no longer has anywhere to get the correct modes. In the desktop CD case, we can cope with this since we have a running X display, and can use xdpyinfo to fish the current screen dimensions out of that (although we may also have to restrict them to valid VESA modes). Unfortunately we can't do anything about the alternate install CD case, since an X server hasn't been started at the point when usplash is configured (well, we could perhaps do X -probeonly along the same lines as xresprobe, but that feels risky at this point). I think the best option is to have usplash.postinst use xdpyinfo to fetch screen dimensions if DISPLAY is set. That way you at least have the option of reconfiguring usplash within a running X display if it picks the wrong values, and it keeps package-specific logic out of ubiquity. It won't be pretty, but is probably about the best we can do. I'll work on this. ** Also affects: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson (kamion) Status: New = In Progress Target: None = ubuntu-8.04 -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf after installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to let people know who might not. If none of the work arounds here seem to help you particular computer. You can always type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Go to the this line in the document: kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=048896bf-abae-4771-82cf-53eff300fe28 ro quiet splash Erase the word splash then save the document. This will allow Ubuntu to boot without a splash screen at all. It will show boot text instead.

Colin, In a fresh installation of Hardy Desktop amd64 Alpha 4, the problem is still present on the Dell Inspiron 1420 (nVidia GeForce 8400M GS). The screen blanks during normal boot period until gdm starts. Normal behaviour returns after manual fix. Screens and Graphics reports the expected laptop screen resolution @ 1400x900. During installation, this had to be manually configured using displayconfig-gtk (pops up automatically) /etc/usplash.conf differs with: xres=640 yres=480 The manual fix is the same as previously stated: - Modify /etc/usplash.conf (xres=1400 yres=900) - Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst (add vga=0x0365 at end of kernel line) - Modify /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (add fbcon and vesafb on separate lines) - Modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer (comment out 'blacklist vesafb')\ - run 'sudo update-initramfs -u' If there's additional information you need, please let me know.
