More test results, log, and another workaround: - booting with "plymouth:debug" added to boot line, but "quiet splash" removed, results in booting to VT7 every time, and no crashes (sample plymouth debug log attached). - booting with "quiet plymouth:debug" (but no "splash"), same results--boots to VT7 every time, and no crashes. - booting with "quiet splash plymouth:debug" results in a frozen splash screen--splash logo, 5 dots turn red, then nothing at all. - simply removing the "quiet splash" from boot line (and no "plymouth:debug" either) results in bug behavior--boots to VT2 and eventually crashes on pressing enter (again, rarely the first time though, maybe once).
@John: Unfortunately, this means I really can't provide the plymouth- debug.log you're looking for. The only condition that allows me to boot with plymouth debugging seems to be another mysterious workaround to this issue. Again, is it possible that simply adding the plymouth:debug option may be just enough to delay whatever race condition might be causing this bug? I'm clueless to why I'm getting a splash freeze with plymouth:debug. ** Attachment added: "plymouth-debug_20100908-1347.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/625239/+attachment/1558112/+files/plymouth-debug_20100908-1347.log -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 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
