Public bug reported:
The desktop workstation involved is an HP s7727c. All conditions
reported relate to this same machine.
I was running Ubuntu 11.10 in 3D mode just fine. I evaluated 12.4 from
the live CD. The live CD also ran just fine in 3D mode. However, after
installing 12.4 to the hard drive, I was unable to boot into a GUI.
Instead, I got a Video-Mode-Not-Supported error and was diverted to a
shell login prompt. I was able to login at the prompt using the
credentials that I provided during the installation process. In order
to get this to work at all, I edited /etc/default/grub so that the line
that read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
was edited to read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
I then executed 'update-grub'. After making this change I can boot
12.04 from the hard drive; but, it is into 2D mode. I still see the
"Video Mode Not Supported" splash which I now regard as just a warning.
The fact that I can run 12.04 from the Live CD convinces me that my
hardware is compatible with 12.04. Therefore, I have to conclude that
failure that I observe when trying to boot 12.04 from the hard drive is
attributable to a bug.
Note that all versions of Ubuntu mentioned above were 32 bit versions.
