Unfortunately it seems this bug is still an issue. Can you confirm this issue exists with the most recent Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-9.04-desktop . If the issue remains in Jaunty, Please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic If you could also test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine this issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

UPDATE - Problem Solved ( at least for me )... I put radeonhd video driver instead of Update-Manager chosen driver. It works. But the problem is still HOT because the Update-Manager ( during upgrade process ) don't recognize my RadeonHD so he chose for me a wrong driver >>> then the blank screen and the rest If this will be not solved ...a lot of Ubuntu Hardy machines (with RadeonHD) ..upgrading to Ibex will have the same problem. -- Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258381 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

hmm - just upgraded from Hardy to Ibex - upgrade OK - after reboot - just a blank screen after bootloader. attached my .xsession log. dpkg tell me all ok, `xfix` can not do anything, xorg.conf is 'dpkg- reconfigure'it, `resume` send me back to the blank screen, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart -> put me back to the black screen figure..

[Bug 258381] Re: Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25
Excuse me for my english but i'm not very well enough. When I start on the pc, the screen on the my two monitors is black with the blinking cursor, but after reboot, if i try recovery mode and then: - try "xfix" --> menĂ¹ recovery mode - try "resume" --> menĂ¹ recovery mode - the login apperars but only in one monitor and then i press "alt+f1" and then restore my xorg backup with - sudo cp /etc/xorg.conf_backup xorg.conf and then ctrl+alt+backspace or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart magically the login will appears and the two monitor is functioning very well. But i do this every time, if i try without recovery mode, the screen is always black. My kernel is 2.6.27-3 on ubuntu 8.10 alpha 5. I have the intel quad core q6600, nvidia geforce 8800 gts 512 mb, a raid with 2 western digital 250 gb, 1 sata 250 gb western digital, 1 quantum fireball 200 gb, 4 gb ddr3 xtreem. P.S.

I tested the linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic kernel, but on _hardy_. No blank screen problems or garbled splash screen. I'm not ready to do an upgrade to ibex for a full test until at least the first beta (can't loose data or time as I use my computer daily). -- Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258381 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 258381] Re: Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25
Well, if the Ubuntu kernel hasn't diverged that far from the mainline .27-rc kernel then the problem should be fixed. The blank screen bug is only the result of a broken implementation of HR-Tick that is only in 2.6.{25,26} (at least as far as I know). HR-Tick was fixed when the merge window opened for the .27 kernel. I do weekly rebuilds for every -rc kernel off of Linus' git tree (and now -next), and can confirm the problem is fixed there. So, if the Ubuntu kernel has only done back- porting of drivers and bug fixes (and not touched hrtick), then the blank screen bug should have been fixed. I'll do an "official" test of the Ubuntu kernel when Alpha-5 comes out. -- Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258381 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 258381] Re: Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258381 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 258381] Re: Blank screen when using usplash and kernel >= 2.6.25
It seems that the commit that went into 2.6.27 can't be backported to .26. But, hrtick, what is causing the problem, can be disabled. The patch to disable hrtick that applies on a vanila 2.6.26.2 kernel and should also apply to Ubuntu's kernel is below. That patch (or similar) should go into 2.6.26.3 or 2.6.26.4. See discussion here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/19/311 - The hrtick implementation in 2.6.25 and .26 has been known to cause boot problems with at least Intel GMA cards. see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15602 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10892 A full fix to hrtick went into 2.6.27 (31656519e132f6612584815f128c83976a9aaaef), but that fix is too intrusive to backport. Henceforth, we default to disable hrtick.
