k3lt01, 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 run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566379 Title: 8086:3582 [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing i915.modeset=1 Status in Puppy Linux: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “linux” source package in Lucid: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: plymouth Plymouth is broken on my laptop after updating to the new kernel (2.6.32-21). I can get into Lucid with 2.6.32-20 with no problems and Plymouth works and looks like it should but with 2.6.32-21 Plymouth takes up the entire screen and then the laptop wont go any further. No hdd activity, nothing. Reboot and select recovery mode for 2.6.32-21, then FailsafeX, and then select low graphics mode and everything is fine, infact it looks like the graphics are normal. Have tried reinstalling the kernel with no difference, also tried reinstalling plymouth and still no difference. I am currently working in kernel 2.6.32-21 in Low Graphics mode. The only things I can see by going into Recovery > FailsafeX > Low Graphics is that Plymouth is bypassed thus allowing the laptop to start. If you need anymore information please ask. Michael.
