Hi, just a "me too" to confirm the bug:
My machine is a notebook, Dell Precision M4300 (Intel Core2 Duo x86_64 / nVIDIA
Quadro FX360M, LCD screen 1920x1200, "up-to-date" Gutsy x86_64, nvidia-glx-new
installed and running fine).
The problem is : when grub runs the kernel, i see the message "kernel alive..."
and the next message line, then the screen font changes, then the screen goes
totally black (dpms off I think because not even backlight is on !) ; disk led
blinks during boot process, but screen keeps beiing off ; it switches back on
when GDM comes in, and from then everything is fine. I just can't see anything
of the boot process. Editing boot entry in grub and removing "quiet splash"
from append line brings a noisy but totally normal boot sequence (screen
doesn't switch off at all).
This happens *only* on Gutsy x86_64. On i386 version, usplash loads
fine, I can see the boot progress, no problem. (I switched from i386 to
x86_64 today, so this is a fresh but up-to-date Gusty install ; from
tribe5 with dist-upgrade).
I don't know what info to provide next. Advise appreciated.
** Summary changed:
- nvidia 8600 not working with 64bit usplash
+ nVIDIA card not working (seems "off") during boot process on x86_64
** Description changed:
- When I boot up Ubuntu 64bit (Feisty and possibly gutsy), I do not see
- the splash screen.. my screen just goes black and the led on my monitor
- blinks as if its not getting a signal until gdm/gnome loads up. I
- believe this is related to uspash.
+ When I boot up Ubuntu 64bit (Feisty / Gutsy), I do not see the splash
+ screen... my screen is just black and the led on my monitor blinks as if
+ it's not getting a signal, until GDM loads up. I believe this is related
+ to usplash. On an LCD screen, the backlight is off during boot process
+ and screen+backlight come back on when GDM loads.
** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
