Ok, the key bit of the log is this: [./plugin.c] query_device:Visual was FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR, trying to find usable mode.
[./plugin.c] query_device:Visual is FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR; not using graphics This means your kernel is only presenting a 16-bit framebuffer for use, not a 32-bit framebuffer; plymouth doesn't support properly displaying on a 16-bit fb, so avoids using the fb at all to not present you with horrible wrong color palettes. If this worked for you in lucid with a full-color splash screen, then there seems to be a bug in the nouveau kernel driver for no longer exposing the expected 32-bit framebuffer. Reassigning to the kernel. If this can't be fixed in the kernel, we should blacklist this card in grub-gfxpayload-lists. ** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048261 Title: Blank screen during system startup with Precise/Nouveau To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1048261/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
