I understand now what's happening here, and have a tentative solution, described in bug #864149. grub is starting the kernel with the console in graphics mode, but nothing in the initramfs ensures that the kernel is able to pick up access to this graphical framebuffer. Forcing vesafb to be

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.99ubuntu6 --- initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu6) oneiric; urgency=low * scripts/init-top/framebuffer: fall back to vesafb if no other framebuffer is found/configured, so we can take full advantage of the grub gfxpayload

Hi Steve, I have just tested with Oneiric Beta1 and I still don't have the Ubuntu Logo when I boot. Still the same behavior after updating to the latest packages. Here is my graphic adapter info : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA

Steve, I'd rather not install the Oneiric beta, since this is the only computer I have constant access at the moment. I was planning to not install Oneiric until the stable version, or maybe the RC. I don't know if using the live cd would be useful, since I'm not sure that plymouth is loaded in

Luigi, I was planning to not install Oneiric until the stable version, or maybe the RC. Ubuntu no longer issues RC images; beta2 now serves the same function as the previous RC, but with a name which more accurately describes its contents. There should be no changes between now and the oneiric

Sorry Steve, my fault. I have removed the 'load-vesafb' file from comment #39, restarted the pc, and ran 'apport-collect 771905' again. As expected, I had a purple screen instead of a normal plymouth theme at start. Let me know if I can be of any more help. -- You received this bug notification
