There's a fix for the problem with the driver installed by EnvyNG (which is a problem of the fglrx driver).
Disable the bootsplash in the following way: 1) make a backup of your /boot/grub/menu.lst cp /boot/grub/menu.lst $HOME/ 2) Open your /boot/grub/menu.lst (using sudo and a text editor) and get to the following part: ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the ## alternatives ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 # defoptions=quiet splash DO NOT uncomment it, just make it look like the following: ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the ## alternatives ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 # defoptions=quiet Save the file and exit. 3) type: sudo update-grub then make sure that the word "splash" it's gone from your /boot/grub/menu.lst 4) Restart your computer and see if you can reproduce the problem. -- Default fglrx driver hangs Acer laptop when coming out of idle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251373 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
