I had the same issue, in fact even the Ubuntu startup sound was playing slowly. To review the symptoms, disabling the startup splash shows that startup messages fly by and the screen scrolls very, very fast until this happens during startup:
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 And then it gets painfully slow. GDM login is fine, gnome-terminal is fine, but Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6 are just painfully slow to use. Fortunately I was able to find a solution (and I'm adding this comment so anyone else who finds this bug like I did via googling can have it too). Just add this line to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist- framebuffer.conf: blacklist vga16fb (if the problem persists look for other possible fb devices to blacklist with lsmod | grep fb) -- Slow framebuffer on HP Compaq CQ50-110EM laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297704 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
