[Bug 1019579] Re: No splash; monitor powers off before login

[Andrew Simpson]

Much the same as Comment #1.  New install (with old home directory on
separate partition and saved).  AMD64 Kubuntu 12.10 on i5 with Radeon HD
6450.

Shutting down with multiple users causes the system to 'hang' and
require cntrl-alt-del.  I think because the dialog box in Kubuntu for
shutting down other users wasn't showing up.

Changing from DVI to VGA cables has no effect.  Playing with BIOS for
on-board i5 video has no effect.

Added 'plymouth:debug' to kernel boot, and resulting log is attached.


Changed from open source Radeon driver to ATI proprietary (using 'additional drivers') and plymouth works as normal.

Title:
  No splash; monitor powers off before login

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since my upgrade to the Quantal alpha I'm not seeing a splash (this is
  mostly Kubuntu setup on this machine); what I see is:

  1) BIOS
  2) A grey screen (Kubuntu grey startup screen colour?) - for less than a second
  3) Display goes into power save - for probably over 10 seconds
  4) The login screen appears

  (3) was long enough that at first I'd thought it had died.

  It's done this for the last couple of weeks of update.

  (i7 with Radeon HD4350, Dell S2490W monitor)
