Thanks, yes, you added it correctly and that's the logfile we're looking for.
This particular log shows that plymouth could not find any graphical output to connect to, which is unusual. [./plugin.c] create_backend:creating renderer backend for device /dev/dri/card0 [./plugin.c] load_driver:Attempting to load driver '(null)' [./plugin.c] load_driver:drmOpen failed [ply-renderer.c] ply_renderer_open:could not open rendering device for plugin /lib/plymouth/renderers/drm.so [./plugin.c] create_backend:creating renderer backend for device /dev/fb0 [ply-terminal.c] ply_terminal_open:trying to open terminal '/dev/tty7' [ply-terminal.c] ply_terminal_look_up_geometry:looking up terminal text geometry [ply-terminal.c] ply_terminal_look_up_geometry:terminal is now 80x43 text cells [./plugin.c] query_device:Visual is FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR; not using graphics [ply-renderer.c] ply_renderer_open:could not query rendering device for plugin /lib/plymouth/renderers/frame-buffer.so What's unusual here is that FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR is exactly the one we want. Can you install the fbset package, and try running the following command: sudo fbset -i I also see in your dmesg output that this is a system that boots with EFI. So it's possible there's a race condition here in the handoff between the EFI framebuffer and the nouveau framebuffer, that causes plymouth-splash to try to start too early. ** Summary changed: - blank screen on startup + [nouveaufb, efifb] blank screen on startup ** Summary changed: - [nouveaufb, efifb] blank screen on startup + [nouveaufb, efifb] blank screen on startup, "Visual is FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR; not using graphics" ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- 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: [nouveaufb, efifb] blank screen on startup, "Visual is FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR; not using graphics" 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
