We've been using it for years why the sudden change? It seems to work fine with the nouveau driver but when I install an Nvidia blob I get three question marks.

The fonts are *HUGE* if I use 1280x800. My monitor is an Acer x203 with a resolution 1680x1050. Look console mode 1280x800 makes the grub2 menu appear on the screen just right. If I increase the console mode setting to 1280x1024 then the height of the menu gets smaller. vga=795 = video=1280x1024 I've been using this configuration for years. Since openSUSE 10x. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tested on 13.2 and I do not see any difference with TW. In 13.2 YaST Bootloader offers Console Resolution menu and it translates into grub2 gfxmode and gfxpayload. No vga= option is ever added to kernel command line. So I'm afraid I'm completely lost what exact behavior change you mean. Could you try to explain it once more. Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Today I did fresh installation using ext4 and I am no longer adding "video=" to the kernel options. Everything looks good today. The console fonts look correct. Perhaps in the past before Plymouth I had to add the vga=795 so I kept using it. Please close this bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Both openSUSE 13.2 and Tumbleweed are on separate drives. Test 1 I set my sata cables so that 13.2 is primary with Tumbleweed on the second drive. The desktop is powered up and Tumbleweed is selected from the 13.2 grub2 menu. I see a flashing cursor in the top left corner of the screen during the boot process and is followed by the boot splash with the three question marks. The desktop is then shutdown and rebooted. This time I select 13.2. The boot process appears normal with the correct resolution and no flashing cursor. Test 2 I reversed the sata cables so that my 2nd drive with Tumbleweed is the primary and openSUSE 13.2 is the second drive. The desktop is powered up and Tumbleweed is selected from the Tumbleweed grub2 menu. This time Tumbleweed boot process looks normal with the correct resolution. When I shutdown, reboot and select 13.2 from the Tumbleweed menu the flashing cursor appears in the top left corner and I have HUGE letters for the console prompt when I press ctrl+alt+F1. When I add vga=795 to the kernel options whatever openSUSE distro is on the second drive no longer shows the flashing cursor in the the left window and three question marks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I keep GFXMODE lower as it also controls the resolution of the grub2 menu. It appears that the command "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" is broken. Can you still access a lower version of grub2 from 2016?

Once again, I do not use a Nvidia card, mine is a RadeonSI / GCN 1.0. I have however noticed a VERY strange side effect, which I never actually reported and took me a while to figure out: If my system doesn't cleanly shut down (eg: a GPU lockup causes me to force restart), the splash screen will show correctly! However, if I do a normal and clean shutdown or restart of the system, I get the gray background with three green ??? symbols. Any thoughts on this? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The plymouth image is stored in the initrd file. Perhaps memory got freed up from you graphics card. I would recommend testing an older dracut file with a newer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Michael
Can the problem exist with dracut?
Maybe. What about the kernel kms driver (of specific vga adapter) ? As far as I know plymouth renders via kms backend though I am pretty rust to tell as it may not be the case. And when it comes to kms drivers, usually vga= and gfxpayload has nothing to do with them. Both bootloader parameters are meant to be effective for 'firmware' based mode setting before kms takes place and takes position of it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I see a patch has been provided for Leap 42.2. Can that patch be provided for 42.3 for me to test?

I'm still getting the three little squares.
Could be https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105141. If you boot with plymouth.debug=stream:/run/plymouth.trace and check /run/plymouth.ttrace after boot do you see messages about not initialized skipped devices? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It only happens if I do a normal reboot / shutdown... if I power off my computer while it's running and boot it back up, I see the normal splash screen but only that once.

This can be done by booting the system with the following parameters: radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 The splash screen bug no longer happens when using this driver. The gray background and green ??? are gone, I always see the themed boot screen. So this may either be a driver specific issue, either certain drivers take certain steps differently which causes the screen to load differently as well. For instance I also see the console more often during the booting process, so it may very well be the later case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi Roman,
Sorry but I really think Plymouth problem (displays three little squares) is not related to removed vga kernel option here, or even not nouveau specific.
And from me the culprit could be everything else, name it in Plymouth itself, kernel, dracut or even combination of them, that could all affect result of rendering. I think a separate bug report is more appropriate as it's quite complicated to understand what really happened ..
Michael, See bug report https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090451 I'm getting a message from dracut that it is removing the Plymouth module. This right after I installed the NVidia drivers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm seeing three little squares. Could this be a case of the font map missing from initrd? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
