"Using the 2.6.31 kernel with the Ubuntu 11.10 userspace, you get the splash screen with no problems?" Yes, I get the splash screen. The only thing weird about it, is that it says Ubuntu 11.04 on it (however, when shutting down, the same screen says Ubuntu 11.10). But I could live with that.
"How does the splash screen look? From the details in your bug report, it looks like it should be a text-only splash screen (because your /proc/fb is empty)." Yes, I have a text mode splash screen. As written above, it says "Ubuntu 11.04" in the middle of the screen. It has four dots (changing colors between white and red to emulate a progress bar) and a password prompt at the bottom. "You could test whether booting without nouveau works by adding a 'blacklist nouveau' line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf." Thanks for the hint, but that didn't help. It would have been surprising if it had, because /etc is *inside* the encrypted partition. Or should I have run some kind of command after that change, to ensure the change gets copied to, say, the initrd on the /boot partition? Maybe "aptitude reinstall apropriate-kernel-package"? Thanks for the hint to "nouveau". I didn't know that the "nv" driver was replaced. I guess this explains, why the x-server nv driver was uninstalled during the update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883820 Title: splash screen doesn't display on kernels newer than 2.6.31-22 => can not enter disk decryption password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/883820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
