Since this issue does not affect a test machine with nouveaufb, and plymouth disables use of the drm backend by default on nouveau, I tried both forcing nouveau with drm and testing intel without it (by moving drm.so aside). On nouveau I still get a smooth transition from grub to plymouth, with either drm or framebuffer backends. On intel with the framebuffer backend, plymouth thinks it's rendering but the screen is *blank* until I switch the console from graphics mode to text mode and back (either with a double VT switch, or by double-tapping Esc).
So I think this points to a bug in the intel kernel driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855764 Title: text console between grub and plymouth in oneiric, with current grub To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-flicker-free-boot/+bug/855764/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
