[Bug 557756] Re: no/ugly Plymouth bootscreen with SiS graphics card

 

Btw, I'm using the normal Ubuntu, not Kubuntu.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis
  
  When I boot Lucid on my notebook with SiS graphics card I'm not only
  getting the divided screen outside of X but also a very ugly Plymouth
  screen showing only 4 colors (screenshot: http://forum.kubuntu-
  de.org/index.php?topic=13621). I also get the error message "mountall:
  could not connect to Plymouth".
  
  When I add "sisfb" to /etc/modules and use "video=sisfb" added to the
  kernel parameters I get a normal non-divided screen and instead the
  message "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" - and no Plymouth
  bootscreen at all. On shutdown I get the Plymouth screen in full color.

+ A screenshot is available at http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/lucidsplitscreenfhny563d.jpg  but I haven't tested if it also happens in the recovery mode's menu.
