[Bug 102712] Re: black screen or garbled graphics on boot
Thanks for your bug report. Can someone confirm if this bug still happens with Gutsy? For people that get a completely black screen and a very long boot time before GDM/X appears, try the following steps and please confirm if it gives results. 1. Open your System / Administration / Screens and Graphics menu and keep in mind your actual screen resolution. 2. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and if the resolution is this file is not the same as the one you have in Gnome/X, change it to be the same as the one you have when you use your computer and save. To edit this file, you can type this in a temrinal : gksu gedit /etc/usplash.conf 3. Once you have edited the file, type this in a terminal to apply the changes to usplash : sudo update-initramfs -u ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Saïvann Carignan (saivann) Status: New => Incomplete -- black screen or garbled graphics on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 102712] Re: black screen or garbled graphics on boot
Check out thinkwiki.org . It is about thinkpads and linux. They have pages on which models have particular issues. I cannot provide any feedback about my thinkpad cuz it died. To be more precise, it seems to be on and the screen does not work any longer. Something fried, I am guessing the graphics chip as that was the problem with my model that was widely reported on that site. Oh well, it was old and served me well. I will try to resurrect it one day. My thinkpad ran hot, and the graphics chip seemed to be too close to the processor and had no heatsink or anything. There is tons of info on thinkwiki for every model. -- black screen or garbled graphics on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 102712] Re: black screen or garbled graphics on boot
I faced the similar problem today. My IBM thinkpad T40 was working perfectly yesterday but when I booted several times today, it would give a blank black screen after grub options instead of login screen. I just let the last attempt stay for a while and the login screen appeared after say 2-3 mins.

Hello, can you try the fix proposed in bug 129910 fixes the issue ? (basically, add fbcon to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, run sudo update-initramfs -u, and reboot with vga=whatever). I think your issue might be caused by that bug Cheers -- black screen or garbled graphics on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 102712] Re: black screen or garbled graphics on boot
I looked at my grub options and they are standard. No extra stuff, whatever the installer picks, nothing changed by me. Dual boot with windows xp pro. I have a laptop though so no video settings, I am not sure if a desktop would add the video by default or not. I have vga=xxx settings on my desktop but that has gentoo installed. At the time I also had kubuntu installed, which I added afterwords with synaptic. Maybe it caused some problems because of that. I couldn't get the issue to go away so I reinstalled it and haven't added kubuntu to it. Sorry I no longer have the original menu.lst file so I don't know if that made it added some vga=xxx settings or maybe pointed to a bootsplash file that wasn't there or something. Here is my current top entry" title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic root(hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=bf847bba-d64d-4e1e-befe-f81240379335 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic quiet savedefault" It could be something with the splash flag, on gentoo you have to specify the splash image and then also the vga=xxx settings. It looks like this has some automatic setting for that and maybe didn't set things correctly. If you have any other questions let me know, seeing your menu.lst may help, I hope I was helpful but I never figured out exactly why mine was doing it. Carl Looking for a deal?

Dear cwhanmsun, thanks for your bug report. Could you tell me what are your grub options? I think I had a similar problem, and the black screen issue seems to disappear if I don't use the vga=791 option. -- black screen or garbled graphics on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
