I think I found a solution in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/551013
Don't use "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" and instead use v86d module: aptitude install v86d edit /etc/default/grub and add after word "splash" in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line: video=uvesafb:mode_option=<desired resolution>-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap My whole line is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" sudo update-grub I've rebooted dozens of times with this and no longer have X fail. You may have to experiment with size .. I tried 1680x1050 and system failed to complete boot. But 1280x1024 is still better than default, and now boot splash is readable again. hth -- Occasionally boots into "low graphics mode" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562565 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
