plymouth 0.8.0~-12
The boot problems with ureadahead/plymouth have been documented, but with today's updates 3-10-10 my system became unbootable. The system boots to an empty Desktop on which two blinking cursors intermittently jump as if proceeding along a text line, leaving a thin, garbled black streak behind them. The only way I can recover is a poweroff. Removing plymouth/plymouth-X11 resolves the issue and the system boots normally. The failure is repeated any time I try to reinstall plymouth and reboot. I have been effected by the bug before, but the system merely halted on the black screen with "ureadahead" failure messages. Pressing ENTER continued the boot to the logon screen (even though I had autologon enabled) and after entering the information the system booted normally. Now the system doesn't boot. I used "ubuntu-bug" to report this. It says the data was collected and sent, but in case not this is an amd_64 Lucid A3 install with an Nvidia 7600GS card, 2.6.32-16-generic -- System fails to boot with plymouth installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533135 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
