@Steve, Running Lucid Alpha 2 x86-64 with all the updates (as of Feb 12, 2010 00:30 EST) I get the splash screen OK but also get the freeze if I hit the Enter key after entering my password. I'm not sure if anyone else here has this config, but I am running Lucid as a Guest OS under Virtual Box on a Karmic 9.10 host OS. Thus, all my video hardware is "virtual" for Lucid, no "bare metal" at all and I get the same freeze up symptoms. The same cure as for a bare metal system works - sudo apt-get remove plymouth - and reboot the virtual machine and all is well except for a few brief error messages at boot start complaining about not being able to connect to plymouth. Also, the boot time is amazing fast with plymouth removed (about 11-12 seconds from when I start the VBox Lucid guest OS to the log in screen).
I don't know how the Virtual Box video driver compares to the Nvidia or ATI proprietary ones, but since virtual video hardware chokes just like real hardware then this plymouth bug seems pretty fundamental in character. Any commands I can run to get more info for you? Its easy with a virtual machine to play with :-) -- Pressing <Enter> causes X to freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516412 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
