Okay, the crash from tty7 happened twice in a row, after reboots, for me. I now see that I'd changed two different variables when I thought the simple "plymouth:debug" was acting as a workaround. I'd also changed these lines in /etc/default/grub, to allow me to catch grub and test boot parameters (rather than having it immediately boot the default)...
This version prevented a crash from occurring: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false This version would allow a crash to occur: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true Regardless of which of the above settings are used, this one seems to always cause X to land on tty7 for me: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="plymouth:debug" The good news is that this has allowed me to capture a plymouth- debug.log file generated at a boot that I suspect will soon result in a crash... ** Attachment added: "plymouth-debug.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/625239/+attachment/1566836/+files/plymouth-debug.log -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 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
