Jan Rathmann, 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 just make a comment to this. Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.12 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. ** Tags added: latest-bios-07.00t needs-upstream-testing regression- potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** 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/1048261 Title: Blank screen during system startup with Precise/Nouveau Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, if I boot the Precise installation on the PC this report has been sent from (using Nouveau drivers on a Geforce 2 MX card), the screen stays blank ("No Signal") during the boot process: - The grub menu is displayed as usual (allthough in low resolution of 1024x768, while the display's native resolution is 1280x1024) - Then a few seconds after the text of the grub menu disappeared, the screen goes blank (and turns of a few seconds later due to lack of input signal). In this phase usually the Plymouth boot logo should appear. - When the display manager is loaded, the screen finally turns back on again/receives input again. This happens regardless if the system is upgraded or freshly installed. It is also a regression from Lucid, where the boot process worked without such problems on this machine (also with Nouveau drivers). If I set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text in /etc/default/grub, I get the text-only boot logo with correct screen resolution on startup and monitor doesn't power off in this case. If I boot using "nomodeset", the graphical boot logo is displayed correctly but the screen resolution on the desktop is limited to 1024x768 (which is not acceptable).
