Ubuntu :: Splash Screen Messed Up - Get Random Command Lines Mixed In With The Usual Splash

Jan 26, 2011

Since updating my graphics driver on ubuntu 10.10, My splash screen has been inconsistant and messed up. Sometimes ill get random command lines mixed in with the usual splash, sometimes the splash wont show and it will just be black till the desktop appears, sometimes it flashes on and off. I originally tried fixing the resolution and just made the problem worse. Then I tried installing a new splash via gnome-look.org, but it just made my shut-down splash blank and didnt effect my splash at startup. I just want the original splash that ubuntu is supposed to have.

Ubuntu :: Fedora's Grub Messed Up Login Splash Screen?

Jun 4, 2011

I installed Fedora on a separate partition and during the install prompts forgot to uncheck the Grub installation. So, Fedora installed with Grub 1 (imagine that) although I was able to find instructions to upgrade it to Grub 2 (plus it recognized all the OS on the computer). So far so good, I don't have a preference whether Fedora's or Ubuntu's Grub is installed, however the Ubuntu Startup Splash screen is messed up, ie. a simple purple background with "Ubuntu" in system fonts. Is there a way to fix this back to the graceful default splash screen? Can I change back the Grub to be Ubuntu's?

Ubuntu :: Reset All Personalization Such As Splash Screen And Colors In Grub Splash To Default?

Apr 25, 2010

If I re-install Grub 2 from the live CD should that reset all the personalisations such as as splash screen and colours in the Grub splash to default? In my case they are not resetting. I would expect them to revert to the default black/white you get when initially installing the OS. the Grub timeout to be a lot less than its supposed to be? e.g. the default timeout setting of 5 seconds is more like 2 or 3 in reality, and when I set my prefered value to 2 seconds it results in being about 1/4 sec or so.

Ubuntu :: Splash Screen Startup - Goes Blank For A Minute Then Briefly Shows The Splash For 5-10 Seconds

Mar 26, 2011

I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu, and on the start-up after I pass the GRUB it goes blank for a minute then briefly shows the splash for 5-10 secs and then jumps to the login screen. Also the screen is offset by about 10-15 pixels but from the login screen onwards it is centred. (It's also like this for if I'm in recovery mode)
How do I fix this and Im wondering if it is a hardware problem?

Ubuntu :: Getting A Blue Kbuntu Splash Screen Instead Of The Studio Splash

Oct 25, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu Studio and after an update the standard Plymouth splash screen began to show. I tried changing it back via the "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" method but I am getting a blue kbuntu splash screen instead of the ubuntu studio splash.

Ubuntu :: ATI Gfx Drivers Splash Messed Up?

Dec 3, 2010

I have an ATI Radeon 5730 HD graphics card. I know the open source drivers for ATI cards do not do well with the Plymouth splash. So now I am having a text based splash and a really horrible tty resolution. A few months back, I was running Lucid on a Laptop with nVidia card. I had the same problem then and I posted in Ubuntu forums and was directed to a page where some method was given to fix up the issue. I don't remember exactly but it had something to do with grub, probably explicitly telling it the graphics card parameters and forcing it to load graphical splash.

However, shortly after that I installed Maverick on the same laptop and tried to hack it with the same method... It didn't work with Maverick and my system refused to boot and kept going dark right after the grub menu. I posted in Ubuntu but the reply was a little bit late and I had to sell my laptop.

Then I bought a new one, with the mentioned ATI card... Now I have the same problem and I want to fix it but I don't want to try that method which caused me trouble last time. I know it doesn't work with Maverick and I don't wanna go there. But I am sure a workaround exists. I googled it and found the same old thread which I am weary of. Does anyone know of such a method which works with both ATI and Maverick?

Ubuntu :: Boot Splash Static With Green Lines Across Image

Mar 17, 2011

Upon boot up the usual little mouse splash boot is suppose to come up. Once I first installed it (10.10 via usb) the boot screen worked perfectly but after I updated via the update manager the boot splash became all static and green lines across the image. It still boots up to the login screen but it's just ugly looking at it.

Ubuntu Installation :: Freeze Screen After Reboot And Get Past The Splash Screen?

May 12, 2011

When I install Ubuntu 11.04 with Wubi, I get this freeze screen after I reboot and get past the Ubuntu splash screen: url

As you can see, it's a scrambled picture of my Windows desktop. This happens with every other version of Ubuntu also.

I'm running a 64-bit PC and I don't wanna waste another CD or use a USB to install, because I actually progress further in my efforts whenever I use Wubi.

Ubuntu :: No Splash Screen / Why Is So?

Jun 1, 2010

I installed 10.04 on my Toshiba laptop, but for some reason there is no violet splash screen with the "Ubuntu" word when the system is loading. Instead there is a bald dash in the upper left corner that keeps blinking and then it is changed by regular font dash, then there are some letters (like system is checking something?) and that's it, one second after my desktop welcomes me. What could be the problem? I feel like I haven't had such a problem when I was installing it on another computer. Though it might be because I am installing from USB drive, but not, installed from CD with the image recorded and still the same problem.

Ubuntu :: Set A Different Splash Screen Instead Of The One?

Jul 15, 2010

I want to set a different splash screen instead of the one that shows up just before and just after I log in (Ubuntu and the loading bar)

I installed gnome-splashschreen-manager and through that I set the splash screen to another jpg image but this doesnt seem to work. I dint see any difference after rebooting. Am I doing something wrong in GNOME Splash Screen Preferences? This method seemed really straight forward.

Ubuntu Installation :: Booting - Screen Froze After The Splash Screen

Jul 21, 2010

I received the Ubuntu CD by mail the other day and tried to install a dual boot with it. I first tried it out by running from the CD and the first problem I had was the screen froze after the splash screen. So I lurked around for a bit and found out that I can press any key on the screen with the keyboard and person to get to a different screen. At this screen I entered "F6" and then entered "nomodeset", this allowed me to pass the splash screen.

Next, I got into Unbuntu but I found out that the keyboard and mouse weren't working, so I lurked again and found out that I have to enter "noacpi" (sorry if I got that wrong, I forgot the name ). I ran by CD once more and everything worked, so I decided to finally install it next to my Vista. However, after installing it goes straight to the splash screen, and the freezing happens again. The screen where the keyboard and the person are not showing up so I have no idea how add the "nomodeset" and "noacpi". So my question is, how do I get to the screen where I can add both those things? Also, is there a way to add it permanently so I don't have to keep pressing F6?

Ubuntu :: Getting Rid Of KDE Cursors And KDE Splash Screen?

May 3, 2010

Some time ago I installed KDE on my machine, though I use gnome as the default. (I rarely login on KDE) .Since then, when I login in my default gnome I get those futuristic KDE cursors, which I hate by the way. I've been trying to go back to my default cursors but I've had no success. I go to System -> Appearance -> Customize -> Pointer and then I select Default Pointer or even DMZ (white) I click on close twice and nothing happens. I've even removed the "oxygen-cursor-theme" using the package manager. How can I get my default mouse cursors back?

On the same note, before I get the login screen and after clicking on logout/restart I get a Kubuntu blue (splash?) screen, I'd prefer not to get this screen. how to get rid of this, too? (Getting rid of the cursors would be most important, but if I can get rid of this screen it'd be nice, too)

Ubuntu :: No Splash Screen In Lucid?

May 23, 2010

I recently installed from scratch the Lucid Lynx, and after changing the direction of the window buttons and a few things more (who was the idiot who thought on having a purple terminal?), I completely loved it.

I had one problem through, is that when I boot my computer, there is no splash shown. After the GRUB menu, all I see is a black terminal with no text for some time, and then a quick view of some colored text. Does anyone else have this problem? Here is the appropriate section of the grub.cfg file:

Code:
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2

Ubuntu :: No Plymouth Splash Screen On 10.04?

Jul 1, 2010

I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my Desktop computer. Prior to KDM loading, all I get is a blank, black screen with no Plymouth splash screen. I'm confident that this issue is not related to KDE but would apply to all Ubuntu variants. Here are my computer specs:

Kubuntu 10.04 x64 running with all updates
Dell Studio Desktop
Intel Quad-Core Processor 2.66Ghz
8GB ram
Intel Integrated Graphics

I should note that I have full desktop effects running smoothly under KDE with compositing enabled, so my integrated graphics is not necessarily the problem unless Plymouth is not loading the graphics drivers successfully.

Ubuntu :: Won't Get Past Splash Screen

Sep 3, 2010

I just used the update manager to update to the latest kernel. There were other updates there, but I can't remember what all they were.

Now the computer won't get beyond the splash screen. I waited about 15 minutes the first time for it to load. When I hit esc during the splash screen, I got this warning

Code:
GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid-r(): failed due to unknown user id (0

After that I think there is more, but my screen runs out of room, but I have this sense that there is more.

Anyway, that might have nothing to do with the problem. When I boot to recovery mode it finds all the stuff plugged in to the motherboard and USB drives then just stops.

Booting to the old kernel works just fine.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Get The Splash Screen To Appear On Netbook

Sep 5, 2010

SO, after about a week of research and trying to get the splash screen to appear on my netbook...I've sort of got it...but not. Here's the low down.

1- Had no boot splash at first. Now I do in low rez.

2- Had shutdown splash in Hi rez...now in low rez.

3- Boot splash lasts about a second at best...prior to that... black screen after I select ubuntu from the boot menu.

I have tried editing grub, updating afterwards, startup manager, online text help...nothing seems to be working to get the end result of Nice looking Plymouth splash screens (the nice purplish UBUNTU screens)

My netbook is an ASUS 1005PE with 2 gigs ram. Ubuntu is the only O/S (Boot menu shows the back up of the win7 install on my smart card). I am running the 64bit version. I also have Ubuntu on my HP HDX18 dual booting with windows7. No issues there. Hence my confusion.

Now...I'm not the most Linux sauvy to say...the last time I looked at Linux was Redhat back in '95 or '96. I'm a dos guy... so I'm not opposed to learning...just need to understand it better thats all. Anyways...if anyone can shed some light on this, that would be awesome. Aside form this hickup, everything seems to run just fine.

Ubuntu :: System Won't Go Beyond Splash Screen

Apr 7, 2011

At the recommendation of a friend I attempted to switch from GNOME to xfce4. Well I'm guessing that either I did something wrong or my video driver issues (nVidia) followed me and compounded.This all started when I tried to add a second monitor to my HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop which at the time was running Ubuntu 10.10 just fine. I loaded the nVidia drivers per the system's request and the monitor's display became distorted. So I did some googling, some tinkering and some installing, reinstalling and removing of various config bits, packages and what not. All with out fixing the problem. By the time I was done my GNOME interface was even a little messed up. My 4 workspaces had disappeared and anything I opened did not have bar and opened up on top over the system tray at the top.

(1 key thing to point out is that in my googling I found a patch for xserver-xorg-core that was suppose to resolve the monitor issue specific to nVidia & 10.10. I found this through the Ubuntu site if I remember right.)So, frustrated, I decided to just press on with changing the desktop manager. I was hoping that it was reload or over write whatever is messed up causing my growing issues.Now the machine boots, I get a splash screen that says "xubuntu" (with a little mouse) and it just sits there until I do a control-alt-delete at which time it will reboot and do it all over again. I have tried reloading grub 2 from the live CD with no change.
