Same problem here. I'm on a Sony VAIO notebook. Dist-upgraded from Karmic yesterday.
cat /proc/fb reports: 0 inteldrmfb What happens is: 1) I see grub in graphical mode (I configured it to be 1280x800) 2) Screen goes blank in text mode (big underline cursor at top of screen) 3) Screen blinks 4) Screen goes blank in graphics mode (small underline cursor at top of screen) 5) Screen blinks 6) I get GDM Sometimes there's a flash of text displaying a few kernel messages betweens steps 4 and 5. I've checked "Show boot splash" and unchecked "Show text during boot" in the StartupManager to no avail. I guess that's as far as a "normal" user would go, so he'd be stuck with a problem. -- splash fails to show during boot (intel) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555214 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
