- does hitting 'esc' once instead of Alt+F6/Alt+F7 fix the issue? Yes - I get a text-only password prompt
- does hiting 'esc' *twice* fix the issue? Yes - I see the graphical password prompt (= GPP) - does hitting Alt+F7 *without* hitting Alt+F6 fix the issue? No - screen switches to powersave (no backlight) but accepts password typed blindly - what do you see if you boot without the 'quiet' option (but still with the 'splash' option)? Depends on how, I remove the quiet: a) If I trigger the grub boot menu, I always correctly get the GPP invariant of quiet or not quiet b) Removing quiet from /etc/default/grub and running update-grub still leaves me with the screen in powersave This machine is a notebook, originally installed with either oneric or natty alternate CD and updated up to quantal without reformating the hard-disk since. ** Attachment added: "plymouth-debug.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/869119/+attachment/3511852/+files/plymouth-debug.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869119 Title: screen goes blank before showing password prompt (inteldrmfb, cryptsetup) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/869119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
