Also, some LCD screens display their manufacturer's logo for a few
seconds when they wake up.

Indeed. AFAICS LCD, "plasma", "LCD/LED" TVs and monitors still take
approximately the same amount as CRTs to start up. What toggles fast
is the backlight of integrated LCD (with LED or not) panels.

Turning on an LCD screen that's connected with an analog cable might
take several seconds to "settle".

Re: Troubleshooting boot problems

2010-04-16 Thread Brian Vaughan
I'd like to see a good overview of Ubuntu's startup process. I just took
a class on Unix/Linux system administration, and we spent quite some
time on system startup and shutdown -- but mostly in terms of Sys V init
scripts and runlevels. I'm clueless about upstart and plymouth.

Re: Kernel bug in Intel driver

Also, what about this one, which freezes graphics on a large number of Intel
boards? (Is Intel a small, insignificant manufacturer whose products are not
a priority?)

Troubleshooting boot problems

2010-04-16 Thread Joao Pinto
Hello,
a frequently reported problem on #Ubuntu+1 which is most of the times
answered is the "I am unable to boot problem".

Is there a generic boot troubleshotting documentation ? I couldn't find one.
If not is there with the know-how to create it ?
It should describe how to check at which stage of the boot is the
hanging/crash ocurring and how to deal with it.

I am probably missing something but it should at least contain some
documentation for the following stages:
* GRUB
* kernel loading
* upstart
* plymouth
* X
* gdm

For all of the above stages it should describe the options that can be used
to workaround typical problems (e.g. kernel parameters), debug options and
how to collect such data.

Thanks
