Binary package hint: plymouth
Testing 10.04 release i386 on my machine and I found that adding
radeon.modeset=0 to the /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
parameter was needed to stop the occasional 'blank screen of death'
where on booting the ATI card is put in to a mode that causes my monitor
to blank as if power-saving.
However, as side effect of this is it kills the output of splash screen text
that plymouth normally reports from a back-up script using the command:
plymouth message --text="something to say"
This is in both with the version shipped with 10.04 and the unstable test
0.8.2-2ubuntu3~ppa1 version. (As an aside, why has plymouth not got a --version
command option?)
Initially I though it was the VGA style mode that radeon.modeset=0 seems
to select, but on removing radeon.modeset=0 then shutting down, plymouth
was still using VGA-like resolution but the text appeared OK. So it is
either random, or it is directly down to the radeon selection parameter.
I expected to see messages, and there was nothing except, perhaps, a
brief flash of a grey rectangle around the logo position (not below it
where the text usually goes).
Some machine info in case it helps:
