> * hooks/framebuffer can be totally removed. By chance I was testing on a desktop that has the Nvidia driver installed (though no Nvidia card today, Intel only). Disabling hooks/framebuffer had relatively little impact. In the end it was hooks/framebuffer-nvidia that also needed disabling to remove most of the initrd bloat.

[ Workaround ] On most machines you can hide the problem by using these kernel parameters together: quiet splash loglevel=2 fastboot [ Test Plan ] 1. Boot Ubuntu on a number of laptops that have the problem and verify no console text messages appear during boot. 2. Verify you can switch VTs (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F4) and log into them still. 3. Reboot Ubuntu and remove the "splash" kernel parameter, now messages should appear. [ Where problems could occur ] Since the fix works by deferring fbcon's takeover of the console, the main problem encountered during its development was the inability to VT switch. [ Original Description ] Since upgrading from 20.04.6 Desktop to 22.04, the boot screen is not as clean as it used to be. Basically, the flow used to be in 20.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Login prompt Currently in 22.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Messages (in the attached file) > Splash screen again for a sec > Login prompt All of those messages already existed in 20.04, the difference is that they were not appearing during boot. I was able to get rid of the "usb" related messages by just adding "loglevel=0" in GRUB. Currently is "quiet loglevel=0 splash". Regarding the fsck related message, I can get rid of them by adding "fsck.mode=skip". However, I do not want to just disable fsck or set the loglevel to 0. This is not a sustainable solution. Something definitely changed here. These messages are not of enough relevance to be shown at boot by default, and they should remain hidden like they were in Focal. Obviously a minor issue, but important to the whole look and feel of the OS for desktop.
