This bug did not have a package associated to it and had nothing to do with ubiquity (IMO) so I set the package to xserver-xorg-driver-nv.
Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. The missing usplash screen bug you are experiencing is bug 147623. It will always happens with usplash + nvidia geforce 8xxx + 64 bit. It is one high priority bug which ubuntu people aim to fix before hardy final release. Concerning the issue with the bad resolution, I suggest you to search in launchpad to find duplicates since there is probably already some people that has the same problems that you (nvidia geforce 8xxx cards are pretty popular). I have a 8300GS card but this bug does not happen with that card. Thanks for the information you provided so far. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-driver-nv (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => xserver-xorg-driver-nv ** Summary changed: - Hardy a4: graphics on XPS m1330 + [Hardy] 800x600 resolution with nvidia Geforce 8400M GS ** Description changed: - Booting the alpha4 desktop CD for amd64 I just get a black screen at - boot time after the "loading kernel" popup and a few lines of text. Even - the background light goes off. Selecting a different text mode (e.g. - vga=771) doesn't help. There is no moving boot logo. + Booting the alpha4 desktop CD for amd64 without usplash ( bug 147623 ) After a few minutes I get a popup saying "Ubuntu is running in low- graphics mode". I click on [Configure]. Model is Plugandpray, resolution is set to 800x600 (the 1280x800 I might have selected at the boot time is ignored). There is no 1280x800 screen to select from, either. Next I select the "Graphics Card" tab, and chose the GeForce Series 8 driver. Back to the "Screen" tab I can select the generic 1280x800 LCD panel now, select "Widescreen monitor", and click [OK] twice. After that I am left alone in text mode :-(. Booting in safe graphics I just get 800x600 in vesa mode, AFAICS. Please note that this laptop works fine with Unstable Debian, in text mode with vga=0x318, and using either the nv or the nvidia graphics driver for X. Kernel is 2.6.24-rc8 or newer. -- [Hardy] 800x600 resolution with nvidia Geforce 8400M GS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
