[Bug 570328] Re: No image during boot/shutdown, small terminals appear

 

Noel Arzola, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  No image during boot/shutdown, small terminals appear

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  No image during boot or shutdown. This was fine in Beta 1 but a Beta 2
  update broke it. I waited to see if it would get fixed but it still
  has not.

  8 small terminals appear along the very top of the screen for a split
  second during both boot and shutdown, rest of the screen blank. Its
  extremely tiny so i cannot see wha'ts what.

  Also, the same spot the exact same size will appear all purple with
  the rest of the screen black, also for a second or two.

  Other than this occurring, the screen is either black or the monitor
  isn't being sent a signal, it bounces between the two during the
  process. So besides the 8 terminals and the purple strip, my boot/user
  experience is pretty much black screen until the login appears.

  Previously the load screen loaded during both boot and shutdown no
  issue.

  Affected machine is a dell 2350, on 10.04 RC, fully updated. My other
  2 machines are not affected by this.
