** Description changed: This boot screen with "Ubuntu" and the dots works fine on the live CD. But after installation it is either a blank black screen (mostly) or occasionally a purple screen with "ubuntu" in a tiny terminal type character font. On shutdown it usually shows purple screen with a tiny white ubuntu and some console type message across the screen. Logout briefly shows a black screen with tiny ubuntu text. - This is on a Dell E521 with an nVidia Geforce 7300 LE card using the - nouveau driver. 32 bit PAE kernel. + This is on a Dell E521 with an nVidia Geforce 7300 LE card using the nouveau driver. 32 bit PAE kernel. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu6 + Architecture: i386 + DefaultPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) + MachineType: Dell Inc Dimension E521 + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu30 + PackageArchitecture: i386 + ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae root=UUID=24932d57-f79e-4449-9703-4f6f382e1412 ro quiet + ProcEnviron: + LANGUAGE=en_GB:en + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcFB: + + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae root=UUID=24932d57-f79e-4449-9703-4f6f382e1412 ro quiet + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic-pae 3.2.14 + Tags: precise + TextPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth + Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae i686 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: + + dmi.bios.date: 08/02/2007 + dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Inc + dmi.bios.version: 1.1.11 + dmi.board.name: 0CT103 + dmi.board.vendor: Dell Inc + dmi.board.version: A04 + dmi.chassis.type: 3 + dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Inc + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellInc:bvr1.1.11:bd08/02/2007:svnDellInc:pnDimensionE521:pvr:rvnDellInc:rn0CT103:rvrA04:cvnDellInc:ct3:cvr: + dmi.product.name: Dimension E521 + dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Inc ** Attachment added: "BootDmesg.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989793/+attachment/3120330/+files/BootDmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989793 Title: blank screen on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/989793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
