OK, that last command worked (with libplymouth2=0.8.2-2ubuntu2) and it has changed some things!
First, the test is back to 'normal size' not the VGA bulked-up manner, which is good. Second, the text from my back-up script is going to the expected place on the screen, which is also good. But...third, it appears that anything going to /dev/console is now appearing on the screen as it is comes from the last dot '.' of the throbber. Attaches is a screen shot taken from a short movie of the machine doing a reboot. This shows both the wanted text of "(home.dat.tgz 54 M)" but also the unwanted stuff. There is also a brief flash of a message on start up related to NIS, maybe a similar message intended for /dev/console ** Attachment added: "Screenshot taken from video of reboot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48670633/Screenshot-MVI_1721.AVI.png -- plymouth text messages fail with radeon.modeset=0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575808 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
