On my Thinkpad X230 using Intel integrated graphics with i915, I get a black screen on boot of elementaryOS 6 instead of plymouth. I can still enter my encryption password into the black screen and then I‘m greeted with the login manager shortly after.
First, i realized that kernel modesetting was seemingly disabled:
# cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset
-1
I managed to enable it with
options i915 modeset=1
in /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
and a subsequent update-initramfs -u
. But plymouth still shows a black screen. I also added
i915 modeset=1
to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
and added i915.modeset=1
to my grub commandline parameteres. None of these help.
I have the following error message in my journal:
# journalctl -b 0 | grep plymouth
[...] plymouth: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon
I also tried adding GRUB_GFXMODE
with the native screen resolution in /etc/default/grub
, but it didn’t help. Plymouth works fine on the same machine using Arch Linux. I’m out of ideas. Does anybody here have one?
