Public bug reported: This boot screen with "Ubuntu" and the dots works fine on the live CD. But after installation it is either a blank black screen (mostly) or occasionally a purple screen with "ubuntu" in a tiny terminal type character font. On shutdown it usually shows purple screen with a tiny white ubuntu and some console type message across the screen. Logout briefly shows a black screen with tiny ubuntu text.
This is on a Dell E521 with an nVidia Geforce 7300 LE card using the nouveau driver. 32 bit PAE kernel. ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989793 Title: blank screen on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/989793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
