I have used Plymouth as the package affected but don't know what specific package to report. Machine boots to the purple Plymouth screen that appears almost immediately after starting the system but prior to the Ubuntu splash. Machine stays at purple screen for approximately 10 seconds, screen blanks and systems hangs/freezes.
** Package changed: ubuntu => plymouth (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: Basic hardware info: MSI notebook, Model GT70-0NC-008US; tag under the battery shows GT70-0NC-494US Win 8 64 bit was pre-installed Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor, 2.3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 750GB HDD 16GB RAM No raid Am not running as a dual boot install. Am running 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.10. As in summary, am unable to boot this system unless acpi=off and "quiet splash" is deleted from grub. This occurs with try it DVD, live USB and HDD installation. Also when installed to HDD. I am running this as the only OS, NOT a dual boot. I am able to boot, install and run 12.04 Precise 64 bit on this system, BIOS in legacy mode for install and running from HDD. Following steps in Debugging ACPT - Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI) I have updated to the latest BIOS on the box. With 12.10 installed to HDD tried booting with all options given in the Wiki with these results: With acpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted, system boots ok and into - usable environment. Note also that the Synaptics touchpad doesn't work - even with Synaptiks package installed. Mouse works fine. + usable environment. + + Note also that the Synaptics touchpad doesn't work even with Synaptiks + package installed. Mouse works fine. Am not trying to jam multiple + problems into this report, merely including as a possible symptom that + might be related. If not please ignore.

I have attached a file, msi_acpi_debug_files.tar.gz that has a copy of output from: uname -a, sudo lspci -vvnn, sudo dmidecode. I am unable to include a tarball of /proc/acpi directory as that directory doesn't exist - I presume that since I need to boot from the live USB with acpi off and/or having to boot without it the directory wasn't created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129511 Title: Unable to boot system unless acpi=off & "quiet splash" deleted from grub To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1129511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
