Experiencing this bug with a Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z which has an LVDS internal monitor and an external DVI-D connected via the docking station. During start-up output is mirrored to the external monitor.
The display 'stops' with the plymouth splash screen and the message "Press C to cancel checking disks". The Xorg log shows it started and got 'stuck' just after the nouveau driver probed the displays. Using Alt+SysReq+K will kill all the processes on tty7 and restart Xorg which then presents the GDM greeter correctly. Changing the kernel's command-line via the GRUB menu (edit entry, delete "splash", press Ctrl+X to start) also works around the issue. -- System fails to boot with plymouth installed (nouveau driver with >1 display) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
