Public bug reported: Binary package hint: usplash
This is from bug #61711 , since I think it's another issue which should be reported as another bug which relates with the summary of the bug itself at least :) So: I've upgraded (i386) an ubuntu dapper 6.06.1 LTS to ubuntu 6.10. After the upgrade, character consoles cannot be used anymore: boot is normal, usplash is shown and nice one, however after booting, consoles are left in some strange video mode, at least only green pixel bars are shown, so without X the box is unusable. I've also discovered that in the root directory there's a fifo called /usplash_fifo. I've never seen a file called this before, though I found similar file on other machines as well in /dev/.initramfs but not in /. What can be the problem? ** Affects: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- no usable video mode on consoles after booting https://launchpad.net/bugs/75392 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
