cat /proc/fb 0 inteldrmfb 1 VGA16 VGA i.e. INTEL 855GM Now seems worse for me as well - I removed the FRAMEBUFFER=y from /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash and did a sudo update-initramfs -u I then updated to the latest plymouth using update-manager. On reboot I saw the usual fsck messages, blinking cursor before GDM was displayed. On subsequent reboot, I saw lots of blinking cursor, then very late I saw a short plymouth theme before GDM. On subsequent reboot I saw the "mountall could not connect to plymouth" message, blinking cursor, short plymouth then GDM
On attempting to readd FRAMEBUFFER=y and doing a sudo update-initramfs -u I got the following errors: d...@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-17-generic /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth: 39: /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme: not found cp: cannot stat `/lib/plymouth/themes/text': No such file or directory grep: /lib/plymouth/themes//.plymouth: No such file or directory Seems like the updates has deleted the /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default- theme command! -- Hide console messages while Plymouth is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535108 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
