[Bug 1069583] Re: 12.10 boots to solid purple screen ujnless "splash" removed

[jerrylamos]

Thanks for looking at this bug.

I put the Plymouth log commands on the linux line, along with splash.
Log attached.

Note in no case does splash appear.  I'm entering this from Quetzal Beta
which does show a splash screen and boots normally.  Boots O.K. then
copy the log from the partition with the 12.10 release level.

12.10 release never shows a splash screen whether splash is in the linux
line or not.  Never any cursor.

Esc key does a little hard drive activity.  Still solid purple screen.

Ctrl-Alt-F1 same purple screen, no cursor.  does some hard drive activity.  I can blindly log in, password, sudo reboot, password and it does.
I can also Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then hold down Ctrl-Alt-Del which does reboot.

Anything to try?  I can re-do the log if it would be useful.

Title:
  12.10 boots to solid purple screen ujnless "splash" removed

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  amd64 12,10 all updated to 20121021 boots to solid purple screen.
  Some flickering from hard drive when Ctrl-Alt-F1 pressed.

  Removing "splash" from linux line boots as expected.

  12,04 works fine.  Booted to normal 1366x768 screen on QQ A1, A2, A3,
  B1, B2 without this problem.  First showed up on RC.
