cryptsetup was not installed. After installing I get the boot animation. Does plymouth 'depend' on themes and cryptsetup? I have done things like 'fix broken packages' and package upgrades many times using synaptic, since I have been using lucid from alpha 3.
Also doesn't this apport filed bug report [this very bug report i.e, bug #541700 ] have a list of installed packages? -- curious, so that I can file the next bug report (if any) in a more useful way. -- plymouth: blank/unanimated screen at boot (cat /proc/fb: 0 VGA16 VGA) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
