Can you follow the Boot options instructions on the following wiki to enable additional output on boot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot As mentioned on the wiki, it would be great if you can attach a log file which may have captured any messages you see. If you are unable to capture a log file, a digital photo will work just as well.

[Bug 1173941] Re: Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't start/ show login screen/ after intallation or upgrade
Ok. The inconsistent results are because $linux_gfx_mode is set to a different value following a successful boot than an unsuccessful boot (as defined by whether /etc/rc2.d/S99grub-common manages to be run).

I'm not sure why the behavior between these two options should ever be different, unless the behavior is simply not reproducible (in which event, both cases would behave unpredictably in the same fashion).

Booting without custom GRUB_GFX* settings, and without the 'splash' option also works. There are some differences with these two methods. With my method, on top left of the screen the cursor is flashing for ~10 seconds and the xubuntu splash screen is shown for short right before the login screen. With your method, the screen is gray for ~10 seconds an then some boot messages appear right before the login screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173941 Title: Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't start/ show login screen/ after intallation or upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1173941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is unlikely to be an issue with Plymouth, since you say tree login screen is not shown and that's not controlled by Plymouth. Can you please try booting with no custom GRUB_GFX* settings, and without the 'splash' option on the kernel command line?
