Spoke too soon. Tried hibernating (worked) and resuming (crashed). Did a hard reboot and behaviour is back to where it was; 'nomodeset' when booting else vertical lines y nada mas.
Steve, the good news is that Plymouth now works OK for me even when booting with 'nomodeset'. - 2 messages about fsck - a purple screen in text-mode with Ubuntu showing, no coloured horizontal bar at the bottom - a message about urearahead exiting with status 4, looking a bit messy like the ones that broke up the blue/white bar - X kicks in and I'm looking at a normal login screen. I do hate it when errors come and go at -seemingly- random moments. There must be a way to reliably reproduce this. cheers Tom -- Plymouth garbles screen (ATI 200M) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519891 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
