I have tried above workaround: echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash sudo update-initramfs -u GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 sudo update-grub2
but it didn't solve the problem for me. The size of the logo was ok again after applying the workaround but after grub a complete black screen without cursor appears for more then 10 seconds. After that there was shortly the logo and then the login screen. I find this a major bug and I don't understand that this has a low importance. It's give a very negative impression for the whole product, even before using it, when you see a black screen for more then 10 seconds. P.S. - for the rollback of the workaround I've only deleted the added grub line. I've also tried echo FRAMEBUFFER=n but after that I couldn't any longer stop the system - for details of my configuration see bug 577317 which is a duplicate of this bug -- Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI graphics driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
