Actually that's not necessarily true. There could be a race if i915 (or whatever) takes close to 8 seconds to load. If Plymouth gives up waiting because that's at the timeout then it will usually try to use simpledrm. But if i915 is also loading at the same time then it may have deleted simpledrm (/dev/dri/card0) and prevent Plymouth from using the graphics device it had chosen. If we can prove such a race exists then Plymouth could be modified to try /dev/dri/card1 in the case that /dev/dri/card0 has been deleted by the driver of card1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063109 Title: Plymouth uses the text-based boot screen on some machines, sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/2063109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
