Package: installation-reports Attempting to boot the Wheezy weekly amd64 CD of 2013/2/11 on a new Toshiba L850/046 (in EFI mode, secure boot disabled) results in scrambled display. The machine initiates boot from the CD, displays 'Welcome to GRUB!' then 'Warning: "prefix is not set'. Then the display is scrambled (like video "tearing") and confined to the upper approx 40% of the screen. Using the up and down arows causes small changes in this scrambled/torn display, which are consistent with small changes to a menu - i.e. it appears the insaller may have booted OK, but just not displaying correctly. In the system settings, there is no obvious item for changing the display setting(s). Thanks, Neale.

Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they were caused by broken hardware and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or - moreinfo was asked and not given or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
