I also am having this bug. On the 7.10 live cd I am getting it as well as on my installed OS. I am using an Nvidia 8600 GT with nvidia 100.14.X drivers installed via Envy.
I have two displays hooked up, each is 1280x1024. I tried updating /etc/usplash.conf to 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 and then using update-initramfs and each time the startup produced the same behavior. Grub loads and then a few lines of text and when it comes time to load the initrd it fails and I end up with a blank screen until kdm starts up. I have noticed that most people affected by this are on laptops, I however am not. brettalton: I tried your method and got basically nothing the diff output was basically that I used startupmanager to manually select 1280x1024 (vga=795). I'm going to try a few more things and play around with your suggestion at various resolutions to see if I can get any meaningful output to help troubleshoot this. Is there any sort of logfile specifically for initrd stuffs? -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
