[Bug 571678] Re: No plymouth graphical boot on Intel GPU

[Steve Langasek]

The submitter of the original bug indicated that this was fixed for him
following an update-alternatives call, and that this was probably a bug
in a prerelease version of 10.04 LTS.  As such, I'm closing this bug
report as fixed.

Others who have encountered other problems with text displaying on boot
should file separate bug reports for their issues using 'ubuntu-bug
plymouth'.

Title:
  No plymouth graphical boot on Intel GPU

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Description:
  On boot no Plymouth graphical splash screen is displayed. After BIOS the screen stays black, then powers off, then powers back on, then text is displayed (at native resolution indicating KMS is working), and then we fade smoothly into GDM. The text displayed on boot is the following (taken from boot.log:)

  fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
  /dev/sda1: clean, 196331/14893056 files, 7424434/59571200 blocks

   * Checking battery state...       [ OK ]

  On shutdown I do see a graphical purple screen with an Ubuntu logo and
  some animated dots. On boot up, however, I only see the black screens,
  the above text, and then GDM.

  Ubuntu 10.04
  2.6.32-21-generic 64bit
