[Bug 539787] Re: Plymouth won't show up while booting, I get messages

 

Melvin Garcia, 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-rc2

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:
  Plymouth won't show up while booting, I get messages

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm getting messages instead of Plymouth. When I drop to the shell
  this is what I get:

  
  [   24.082115] vboxdrv: Warning: 2.6.31 Kernel detected most likely the hardware performance
  [   24.082117] vboxdrv: counter framework which can generate NMIs is active. You have to prevent
  [   24.082119] vboxdrv: the usage of hardware performance counters by
  [   24.082121] vboxdrv:   echo 2  >  /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid

  What i find very weird is the 2.6.31 kernel detection.

  This bug could be tied to the a GPU driver related bug that has been
  annoying me since I installed (via usb) Lucid on this computer. When
  the system boots the GDM never loads so I have to drop to the shell
  with ctrl+alt+F1 wait for a few seconds until the computer loads the
  GDM, then ctrl+alt+F7 (sometimes F8) to see the GDM, when I enter the
  password, drop to the shell once more and wait for the desktop to load
  and once again, ctrl+alt+F7 or F8. If I don't do this after selecting
  my name on the GDM the desktop will load partially and the cursor
  flashes, I get black borders around the notifications and nothing else
  loads. The notification that pops up says:" Could not switch monitor
  configuration - could not set the configuration for CRTC 64. When I
  recover the PC from sleep it happens and the notification pops up like
  crazy for minutes and the cursor flashes. This also happens when
  viewing videos on Totem or any other player. Viewing videos on the
  internet works well though.
