This bug also affects me. I had the Alpha installed, which booted correctly without the Fglrx driver installed. When the RC came out, I did a clean install over it and it failed to show the boot screen correctly, except for a quick flash at the very end of the boot sequence just before GNOME showed - no animations. Installing Fglrx resulted in absolutely no splash screen and a much longer boot time, running a Radeon HD 3870.
Installing cryptsetup fixes everything. I experience a pretty speedy boot time of ~20 seconds on a conventional 7200 rpm hard disk, the Plymouth splash screen pops up and animates correctly at the right time, and most importantly I do /not/ experience any performance drops at all. I'm not using the fglrx drivers, instead using the open source radeon. Hope this helps anybody. -- plymouth: blank/unanimated screen at boot (cat /proc/fb: 0 VGA16 VGA) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541700 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
