I have a similar issue on a karmic 64bit machine. The difference is that my screen does NOT turn pink and my power DOES cut out correctly after 1-2 seconds of the fugly white screen.
I can also confirm that disabling the usplash splash screen solves this, but then we have no splash. ** Also affects: usplash Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "lspci-vvnn.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29265049/lspci-vvnn.txt ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- when shutting down screen goes white then pink without cutting power after installation of nvidia proprietary driver 180 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369381 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
