I do not remember pressing Esc, but it cannot be ruled out. The other day I upgraded an identical server from hardy to lucid, while watching it over the serial console, and saw no sign of the text-mode splash screen, just regular fsck messages. This
I haven't tested for 8-bit cleanliness, but I do not think that is a problem. I think the problem is with ubuntu-text being unable to determine the size of the terminal. Try this in a gnome-terminal: $ echo -e '\033[1;1fHi' you will see 'Hi' in the top-left corner. Now try $ echo -e '\033[-1;-1fHi' and you'll see the U+001b missing font glyph, overlapping a [, followed by -1;-1fHi -- exactly what I saw over the serial console. If ubuntu-text wants to position the text in the middle of the screen, but it gets the coordinates wrong somehow, that would explain everything, wouldn't it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915735 Title: plymouth: broken output on serial console (screen full of [-1;-1fUbuntu 10.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/915735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
