I am confirming that booting with DVI-D cable attached fails as well with nouveau. Plymouth splash stays on the screen and X does not seem to be able to take over the screens.
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M G] (rev a1) If splash is removed from commandline then X is able to start with two outputs (LVDS/DVI-D) I am attaching my Xorg log files in case it might be helpful to diagnose that. -- System fails to boot with plymouth installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533135 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
