Comment 112 for bug 516412

For me the behavior has changed now since Steves fix. Previously pressing ENTER caused X to freeze, now gdm is frozen from the start, I can't even move the mouse or enter a password. As previous, Alt-Print-K restarts X and fixes it.

1. I use lucid 64 bit with Nvidia GeForce 9300M G with binary drivers (nvidia-current)

2. I see no logo

3. I see blue and white bars at bottom of screen

4. The bars disappear when the spinning cursor appears

5. $ cat /proc/fb
    0 VGA16 VGA

6. $ ps aw | grep X.*vt
 1732 tty7 Rs+ 0:16 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-4h7UJ8/database -nolisten tcp vt7

7.
dpkg -l plymouth libplymouth2

Hope that helps.
