Public bug reported: When booting up or shutting down Ubuntu 6.10 on our 120+ Dell 170L workstations, on a Live CD or after installation, the standard "thermometer bar" screen does not appear, only a blinking cursor in the top-lefthand corner.
Everything works otherwise; it still transitions to the standard login screen when it's done booting up and powers off when it's done shutting down, it just doesn't show that it's doing anything. Ubuntu 5.10 did not have this problem, nor do our Dell210L workstations or Dell Inspiron 1300 laptops running Ubuntu 6.10. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Dell 170Ls do not show a "thermometer bar" screen during start-up or shut-down procedure https://launchpad.net/bugs/99050 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
