Binary package hint: upstart
(Don't know whether to file this against upstart, linux, xsplash or
xorg.)
Summary:
Live cd boot never gets to X, only blank screen. TTY screens also blank. System
still responds.
ISO-image: ubuntu-9.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso
What I did:
Booting Karmic Beta desktop live cd.
Boot menu: Language=English, Keymap=Swedish. Boot to live cd environment.
Results:
Message flicker by with something like
"[ kerneltime] pci 0000:00:00.0 ...BAR ... Adress space collision"
(grey circle of friends/Ubuntu logo)
"Starting early crypto disks"
"Starting init crypto disks"
"Starting remaining crypto disks"
(blank screen)
Sound: drum intro (with some disjointed-wave-popping / clipping)
(still blank screen)
(cd drive spindown)
This leaves me with a blank screen.
Trying to switch to TTY with Ctrl-Alt-F2, still blank screen.
Hitting NumLock lights numlock led on keyboard.
Hitting Ctrl-Alt-F3 switches numlock led off.
Hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2 switches numlock led on again.
Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up Ubuntu logo and ejects cd tray with
"remove cd" message.
I repeated the process with "failsafe graphics" in the boot menu. This
time an ncurses message flashed by (no time to see what it says) before
screen blanks again, followed by the drum sound. This time the
numlock/tty trick does not work, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete initiates the
shutdown process.
"Check CD for defects" says cd is fine.
