[Bug 1086345] Re: Quantal-LTS-stack: Showing low-resolution screen on shutdown/reboot

[Steve Langasek]

plymouth can't run because the console is still in use by an X server -
not the usual one, but the one launched by /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf
because the lightdm job exited abnormally.  Maybe this is a bug in the X
server itself, or maybe it's a bug in lightdm.  Reassigning.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => lightdm (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Quantal-LTS-stack: Showing low-resolution screen on shutdown/reboot

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hardware is an Hashwell SDP with an Intel SSD. Fresh install from
  12.04.1 alternate image, then added the quantal-lts kernel and the
  x-stack (ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport, pulled via xserver-xorg-
  lts-quantal meta package). Monitor is connected to VGA.

  With the new stack graphics on VGA does actually work and the system
  snaps from the grub-efi prompt to lightdm in a blink (2s at most which
  probably can be attributed to the Intel SSD). Everything is fine and
  the system definitely is running in a high resolution mode.

  However when shutting down or rebooting, the system drops into a
  screen telling me it is running in low-resolution mode instead of
  showing plymouth (or the terminal). The system will continue to shut
  down or reboot even without pressing the ok button, but it can be done
  for a bit and then would show the next screen about how to resolve the
  issue. I was not quick or daring enough to go on from the second
  screen.
