View Full Version : Plymouth low res boot screen.

I have searched the forums on this problem and I am still not really clear on the fix for this or even if I should wait for final release.
I am running Lucid 64bit and have upgraded through the cycle from Karmic. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers. All the time that the Plymouth boot screen has been available it has been in low resolution. As we are now at beta 2 I am torn between searching a fix or waiting for the final release...

So, from what I have read I need the 'nouveau' driver to fix this issue.
1. How do I install this in place of my existing nvidia proprietary driver?
2. I am a little bit confused by the hardware drivers selection panel telling me that I have an nvidia driver installed but that it is not in use-I read that this might be a bug??

A clear step by step fix would make a busy guy very happy :wink:

Take a look at /etc/default/grub and change 'GRUB_GFXMODE'. For example, mine is 'GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768'. After saving the changes, run 'sudo update-grub'. Reboot and enjoy a nice plymouth and the proprietary nvidia driver. I don't give step-by-step fixes in development.

I posted a similar query yesterday.
I can't comment on 'nouveau' as I have never had any experience but I have found something that seems to be working for me with nvidia:

Edit /etc/grub.d/00_header
Then look for the line "set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}" (line 103 in my case).
Add a line right beneath it like this:
set gfxpayload=1280x1024 (with your desired resolution).

Though the strange thing is this will only allow me to use the dmicode resolution so the aspect ratio is slightly off for me.
My monitor res is 1680x1050 but in grub and plymouth it won't work with that or other resolutions with the same ratio.

I also found this page: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html
With those instructions, using gfxpayload=keep instead of the actual resolution, I found I was often left with a black screen without it reaching the desktop for some reason.

I have found

set gfxpayload=keep
works fine for me ( I don't have the probs x-shaney mentions above)

I have since seen that solution posted in a lot of places and it seems to work for other people.
It seems to be when my res switches from the boot res to my desktop res something goes wrong but not if I set the boot res for gfxpayload.
Wish I could get the same res for my desktop and for boot.

that solution breaks tty which could be bad if you get the wrong kind of testing breakage. there is a monumentally long thread+bug report. its being worked on and i'm sure it will be fixed by release.

I found this information in /usr/share/doc/plymouth/README.Debian:


High-color graphics on nVidia, ATI and other cards
--------------------------------------------------

Our default configuration uses low-color graphics on cards or drivers
for which "Kernel Mode Setting" (in-kernel graphics drivers) are not
available.

This is because the driver that permits high-color graphics tends to
cause issues with suspend and resume, and we opted to prefer that
working.

For nVidia and ATI users, the default "nouveau" and "radeon"
drivers are Kernel Mode Setting enabled, but do not always
provide 3D capability at the current time. By switching to
using the restricted/non-free nvidia-glx or fglrx drivers,
you will gain 3D capability at the loss of a high-color
splash screen.

You can however chose to enable high-color (and resolution) console
if you find it doesn't affect suspend/resume for you, or you don't
use that feature.

There are various methods of doing this, the most robust is the
following four steps:

Append video=vesafb to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in
/etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub

echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u

Tried it and it did nothing for me and looking at dmesg it wasn't using vesafb anyway.

I'm getting a rather large ugly ubuntu logo. Basically it res is too low on my 22" lcd its ugly.

Change the res as above only changes the grub menu res for me.

I am experiencing similar problem when ati opensource driver was in use the boot screen was high res. Since using the closedsource ati driver (from hardware wizard) I have a low res boot screen & hi-res desktop.

I am not sure how to do this with Grub2 but what I ended up doing was to edit the grub.cfg and put in vga=799 in the linux line after ro.
This gave me a good resolution though its aspect ratio is not perfect.

Perfect! I changed plymouth to some of the cool splash screens - but that broke suspend. Reverting to Nvidia drivers and tweaking grub per your post gives me both working suspend and nice looking plymouth splashies.

I just checked System>Preferences>Monitors and made the grub resolution the same as my default monitor resolution (the text of boot options is TINY now, but who cares?) to keep the boot animation looking right.

Thanks.

I can confirm that the above fix works with the NVIDIA closed drivers. I can see the default Ubuntu Plymouth splash at my monitor's default resolution (1280x1024-24).

Just follow the steps the author indicates to use uvesafb and what not.

Worked perfectly for me. Don't know what will happen when they update the grub program though.

Hey, I had the same issue. My quick and dirty fix:

I changed this line in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_RESOLUTION=


Changed the default grub resolution to the regular resolution of my monitor (check in System>Preferences>Monitor - I think that's the path, not on my ubuntu box atm). This made the text of the grub splash TINY - but also made plymouth boot splash display at the proper resolution.

Anybody know if the above fix also works for the ATI cards using FGLRX?
My boot screen is just ugly.

philinux
April 27th, 2010, 02:20 PM
If anyone is happy with the default grub resolution, I am, then just use this bit in /etc/default/grub to set plymouth resolution.


GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1680x1050

Then


sudo update-grub

1680x1050 = my native res as mentioned above by sgleo87.

Has it improved anything noticeably?

I get about 3 seconds of splash and the rest of it is black screen.
Yet on PCLinuxOS and Fedora it worked perfectly from grub to login.

No improvements here with NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

The workaround posted above is still the only way for me.

Well it's pretty easy to reverse, you can simply comment out the lines before you upgrade to final.

I have been using this method a while (=keep didn't work for me) but unfortunately my card doesn't apparently allow widescreen modes on boot so I have a slightly stretched logo but better than the alternative.

You may have the same problem as me in that your desktop resolution isn't available on boot.
Probably getting 1600x1200 or 1280x1024

This works for me but adds around 6s to my boot time. Not sure if it's really worth it.

The following fixed my low res boot issue with Lucid 10.04 running on a laptop with nvidia graphics card

edit the grub by typing this in a terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

add the lines:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800
GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND=vbe

(change the resolution to match your screen)

then:
sudo update-grub

reboot and bob might be your uncle

This doesn't work. It fixes the grub boot menu resolution, but the splash screen is still in crappy 640x480 or some similarly ugly resolution.

EDIT:
It works at 1600x1200. Apparently only some resolutions are supported, while everything else falls back to the ugly one.
To find out what resolutions are supported type
hwinfo --framebuffer

However even with this "working" resolution the graphic now appears to be corrupted.

Fresh install of Lucid had proper boot splash, but after installing nvidia drivers, it becomes low resolution.

I tried the steps listed in this link and it worked for me!

Yes the Tux's solution posted above works for ATI as well as Nvidia
Just make sure you use a resolution supported by your monitor.
If in doubt use 1024X768 . It gives a nice splash screen.

Hi,

My problem might have similarities with the problems discussed here; I've trying to get this fixed for a while but don't know what else to try.

I have Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and Windows 7 running natively on a Dell D820 laptop with 945GM chipset. I also have Ubuntu 8.04 running as guest in Virtualbox on the Windows 7 host using raw partitions (ie. the same as when I would run Ubuntu 8.04 natively). This is all working well.

Now I'm trying to do the same thing with the latest Ubuntu 10.04. It works just fine when running natively but hangs during the boot process (I see grub, can select the kernel, see some disc activity then silence) when running as guest in Virtualbox (on Windows 7).

I've added a few more grub entries so I can pass different parameters to the kernel depending on whether I run Ubuntu 10.04 natively or as a guest in Virtualbox on the Windows 7 host.

I haven't been able to get past the point where the cursor either stops blinking in the left top of the screen or disappears altogether, then sits there (forever presumably; haven't tried to wait forever :-) ).

Below my grub entries and an extract from the Virtualbox logs (for both 8.04 which works and 10.04 which doesn't). As you can see Virtualbox gets stuck in attempting to resize the Display?

The 2nd additonal grub entry lists the kernel and initrd from a guest Ubuntu 10.04 installation I did within VirtualBox using a fresh virutal disc (ie not the existing raw partitions. This install works just fine (of course), but its kernel and initrd can't get Ubuntu 10.04 booted from the raw partitions.

Any ideas out there how I could continue to debug this?

Hmm it appears that the boot screen isn't appearing at all anymore, just a weird purple screen that lasts for a couple seconds. And when I log in the screen goes brown temporarily, though that is not really related... Anyone have any fixes for either of these?

so, do any of these methods work with ATI? It seems that most of them are made for people with nvidia drivers :(

i have also an ati, but sadly my boot resolution is only up to 1024×768...i will test when i come home with the payload* option if it works

works for me but my native monitor resolution is not supported which is 1920x1080 so I used 1280x1024 instead looks decent but not perfect. Now, how can I make my resolution supported? Perhaps, an upgrade to my nvidia card?

^^ Has anyone had problems resuming from hibernate with that solution? That worked for me in getting a high-resolution splash screen, but then I couldn't resume from hibernate. Is there a solution that might give me the nice resolution on the splash AND resume from hibernate properly?
