Public bug reported: I never had this problem before (Ubuntu 6.10 ... Ubuntu 8.04). Before doing a fresh installation of Ubuntu8.10 I added partitions to my disc (with gparted-live-0.3.9-4). I installed Ubuntu8.10 on /dev/sda1 and Kubuntu8.10 on /dev/sda3. Both builds are running well, but none of them shows the splash screen at booting or at powering-down. I only get a warning from my monitor that the monitor is not driven properly (Out of range : Vf: 86.7 Hf : 46.4K).
As I have different partitions (and a second older disc with XP installed on it), I checked for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/205990. None of the solutions did apply. If I boot with the live-cd, then the splashscreen pops up at booting and at logging-off. When I change the splash-screen-options in /boot/grub/menu.lst to nosplash, then the system shows the messages one can normally see by means of dlog. The text is shown properly! So this is not a monitor-interfacing-problem? Adding an extra line such as vga = 791 does not help in getting rid of the monitor-warning. I guess something must be wrong in the program that generates the splash. All other items are working fine. After all when the brown screen pops up (in case of booting Ubuntu 8.10) the monitor is being interfaced properly ! Please give me a hint what I can check more. Additional information : The first lines @ booting up are : Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.27-10-generic Cannot find map file. The screen-resolution = 1280x1024 and is properly setup in File /etc/usplash.conf # Usplash configuration file # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs. xres=1280 yres=1024 sudo blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="0f66836c-712e-4865-9d28-1d3f5434b458" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: UUID="d91ca88f-9700-48f0-811b-00a9c8f5e7cc" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda4: UUID="3df86767-5be4-4487-b9a5-5902d85f808e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="957efd42-9a0d-41e2-866e-5837f0aba429" /dev/sdb1: UUID="52A4967BA49660F1" TYPE="ntfs" → File /etc/initramfs-tools/config.d/resume RESUME=UUID=957efd42-9a0d-41e2-866e-5837f0aba429 → File /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=0f66836c-712e-4865-9d28-1d3f5434b458 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=957efd42-9a0d-41e2-866e-5837f0aba429 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 → File /boot/grub/menu.lst ## ## End Default Options ## title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-10-generic uuid 0f66836c-712e-4865-9d28-1d3f5434b458 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-10-generic root=UUID=0f66836c-712e-4865-9d28-1d3f5434b458 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-10-generic quiet title Ubuntu 8.10, memtest86+ uuid 0f66836c-712e-4865-9d28-1d3f5434b458 kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin quiet ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/sda3. title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (on /dev/sda3) root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=d91ca88f-9700-48f0-811b-00a9c8f5e7cc ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/sda3. title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda3) root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=d91ca88f-9700-48f0-811b-00a9c8f5e7cc ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/sda3. title Ubuntu 8.10, memtest86+ (on /dev/sda3) root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/sdb1 title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader +1 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No splashscreen at boot/logoff https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
