To all those having troubles with boot splash: 1)follow workaround of the issue 540801: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/540801/comments/2. That is, sudo su echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash update-initramfs -u exit
Now you will do get a boot splash, but it is buggy. 2)replace vga16fb with uvesafb. Tested here (Russian): http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/ubuntu/92637. That is, Open /etc/default/grub, find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and change it (replace everywhere 1024x600 with your actual resolution): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x600-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" Find GRUB_GFXMODE, replace it: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x600 Open /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add: uvesafb mode_option=1024x600-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap Now install v86d and update grub: sudo apt-get install v86d sudo update-grub Open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf and add: blacklist vga16fb -- "acer-wmi: Unable to detect available WMID devices" on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560464 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
