This is just to add that with removing the splash option and upgrading to version 177 of nvidia drivers this problem seems to be worked around.
** Summary changed: - regression: usplash causes system to beep and hang + regression: usplash causes system to beep aloud ** Description changed: Binary package hint: libusplash0 - On my laptop (a HP hdx 9400) 8.04 x86 and x86_64 boot fine with splash enabled. - With 8.10 (tested against alpha 2 - beta) I'm unable to boot either the live cd or the installed version unless I modify the kernel parameters. The system starts to beep until it beeps continuously. I don't think it would continue to boot but my nerves prohibit waiting longer than 20 seconds with that sound. This happens so early that no log file in /var/log is written yet. - If I change the parameters such that splash is not used (e.g adding vga=3 noquiet and remove splash option 8.10 boots fine) . + On my laptop (a HP hdx 9400) 8.04 x86 and x86_64 boot fine with splash + enabled. + + With 8.10 final with nvidia restricted drivers as soon as the system boots up the speakers start to beep aloud until they beep continuously. + This happens while booting, shutting down, entering standby, resuming, logging off. + While logging off the beeps last only while the screen goes black. + + In any case it seems to be only an aesthetic (acoustic) bug since the + system correctly performs the tasks as expected (e.g. boots up and logs + off fine). + + If I change the kernel boot parameters so that splash gui is not used + (i.e. removing 'splash' option from the kernel boot line at + /boot/grub/menu.lst the system boots fine. -- regression: usplash causes system to beep aloud https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
