Seems to be a kernel issue. ** Description changed:
Upon booting without splash screen (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""), I initially get blocks of white on my screen (all the time) instead of text (please see attached picture). Towards the later part of the boot process, I am able to get the normal small text. However, this text is - also at times of the wrong dimension (horizontal height is shorter than - normal). This bit is intermittent. + also at times of the wrong dimension (vertical height is shorter than + normal). Another possibly related issue is that when I boot with splash screen, the boot splash screen is sometimes not of the correct dimension on the screen. At times, the "ubuntu" logo with the 5 dots below is way too small and look exactly like the font used for the text mode boot up. This also happens on and off, and when I'm lucky I can get the normal sized ubuntu boot splash screen. I'm not sure if it's a graphics driver issue, but here are some of the details of my system's display: OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon X2300 ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886547 Title: garbled text when booting without splash screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/886547/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
