Not the same...

This bug, which is why the image is not normal ubuntu: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/small/plymouthtutorial-small_007.png

bug #957380 is the update from 11:10 to 12:04 in plymouth text.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Ok, so to restate, the issue you're reporting here is that the plymouth splash comes up using the text theme instead of using the high-resolution graphical splash.

The answer is that your kernel has not brought up a framebuffer, so plymouth has no way to display the graphics.

Your lspci output shows the following:

00:10.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C73 [GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i] [10de:07e1] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
 Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device [1462:736b]
 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
 Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
 Latency: 0
 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10
 Region 0: Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
 Region 1: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
 Region 3: Memory at fc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
 Expansion ROM at fea40000 [disabled] [size=128K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb

Neither the nouveau nor the nvidiafb driver is loaded, according to /proc/modules on your system. This explains why there's no framebuffer, but is very unusual. Have you made any changes to the video configuration on this machine? Do you have any of the nvidia binary driver packages installed?

Your bug report also does not include a copy of /var/log/dmesg because your user is not part of the 'adm' group. Could you attach this file to your bug report by hand?

[André Lopes (zipatei)]

Q: Have you made any changes to the video configuration on this machine?
R: No.

Q: Do you have any of the nvidia binary driver packages installed?
R: No. But i enabled now owner driver, and the effect is the same.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Ok, thanks. I don't see any errors in the dmesg, but there's also no mention of the drm driver being loaded. Referring this to the kernel team.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.3 kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

[Maarten Bezemer (veger)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in the upstream bug tracking system this is a tremendous help. Launchpad has the ability to watch lots of upstream bug trackers and this can be done by following the procedure documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches. I've added the bug watch for this bug report.

I update Grub 1.5 to Grub 2 and Splash Screen appear...

Problem would be the "Grub 1.5"?

André Lopes, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this?
