1) 2.6.37rc2 : first boot OK, but hung on plymouth. I dropped to TTY1, changed the plymouth screen with update-alternatives, to put back the original kubuntu one, restarted kdm and worked. reboot, NOK : same problem as before : black screen
2) then tried 2.6.32.11+drm33.2-x201 first boot OK : splash screen works, and on drop to console i see NO ERRORS mentioning i915 symbols etc... so to test with a reboot second boot OK : splash screen works only problem now is no Wireless . . . . . 3) back to .37rc2 first boot : OKish : I set nosplash in boot options, but got a plymouth theme anyway... Screen flashed black/white a couple of times then X popped up like nothing happened. drop to TTY shows the intel ips : failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled message and drm:ironlake_crtc_disable *ERROR* failed to disable transcoder reboot.... the flashing happens when plymouth is being "initialised" , whether its on boot up or shutdown on reboot... flashing again, this time no plymouth shown and no X.... black screen :( i'm wondering if plymouth is messing with stuff . .. . or being messed with ...... hard reset..... third boot : same as before :( fourth boot : set verbose nosplash in boot options...no change ! so, if someone can briefly explain to me how to use the patches much mentioned above.....i'm more than willing .... -- [i915] blank screen on Latitude E6410 (NOT E6510) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561802 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
