[Bug 43223] Re: Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes
may I add just my 2 cents: I run Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with a Radeon 9200 card. I had this problem (funky colors on shutdown splash) presumably after a kernel update, that added a line ending with vga=792 (1024x768, 16M colors) to grub's menu.lst. Not only the shutdown splash was affected, but also the full screen terminal modes (alt-F[1-6]), showing strange and very dark colors, barely readable. This problem went away when I removed the vga option, but terminals where at 640x480. I tried vga=791 (1024x768, 64k colors): problem remained, and vga=773 (1024x768, 256 colors): problem fixed! It seems that terminal modes with more than 256 colors are not supported (by my card? the kernel driver?) So anybody affected by this bug: try replacing the vga mode in the corresponding line of /boot/grub/menu.lst with one with the same resolution, but only 256 colors. This will probably fix it. -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Saivann, I got into other problems like X failing after that (see my previous comment). There was a problem in my menu.lst... I had included noapic. To make gutsy run on my laptop I needed that. Hardy does not seem to require that anymore. I did a fresh install of Hardy. The new menu.lst does not have noapic. I do not have any problems with usplash anymore. -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 43223] Re: Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes
hi, Despite going through all the modifications above, I still had the problem. I am working on hp Pavillion tx1205us, recently upgraded to Hardy Heron. However, I could solve the problem by installing an earlier version of nvidia. jockey-gtk installs nvidia-glx-new. I am not very good with Debian programming. So, I installed nvidia-glx-envy instead using envyng-gtk which has a nice GUI and does a nice job of enabling the driver as well. Note by default it will install nvidia-glx-new-envy. So I had to manually choose an earlier version. Given the warnings on the website of envy, I would be very grateful if someone can post how, to enable nvidia-glx (which can be installed using synaptic or apt-get). thanks -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

hara : The problem you have is bug 127280, which is caused by a specific version of the closed-source nvidia drivers. The only difference between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-envy is probably only the nvidia drivers version. -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 43223] Re: Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen
Hi, Just wanted to confirm this bug on Ubuntu 8.04 I used to have the same problem on my computer (ATI Radeon 9250 card, using the open source drivers): funky splash colors on shutdown + very dark colors in the console modes. However, I had a vga=791 in my menu.lst, so I removed it. Now everything is fine, no more funky colors at shutdown and the consloe colors are ok. So here are my conclusions: 1) There are 2 problems which seem to have the same cause: funky splash colors on shutdown + very dark colors in the console modes. 2) Removing any vga= statement from menu.lst solves the problem. @Saïvann Carignan: I hope this helps :) Btw - some more details about my machine: kernel = 2.6.24-16-generic distribution = Kiwi Linux 8.04, based on Ubuntu 8.04 + I attached the output of lspci -vvnn ** Attachment added: lspci-vvnn.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14431965/lspci-vvnn.txt -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

keulieminogue : Can you also provide your /boot/grub/menu.lst file like I asked? Also, do you get funky colors when you use restricted nvidia drivers or you don't get any splash screen? If you have a different behavior from usplash, you should probably open a new bug report since it may not be the same bug. The nvidia drivers is only used by X but not by usplash, so my understanding is that probably that these drivers corrupt the consoles when used through X. It would be important to have your /boot/grub/menu.lst file since your boot options are in that file. -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 43223] Re: Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen
I'm not sure, if this is the same bug, but as soon as I start X, my console's colors get all messed up and are hardly readable (very dark colors, and darkred instead of cyan, yellow instead of blue etc.) Of course, this also affects the shutdown splash, which has completely wrong colors this way as well. Maybe one further note: when I do a 'screenshot' with fbgrab, all colors are perfectly okay, and the bug doesn't occur if I don't start X at all.
