I got the opportunity to show Colin the behavior in person, and he had a key insight. He asked whether the freeze happens on the reboot after a shutdown, as opposed to an explicit reboot command (e.g. choosing Reboot from the greeter menu). In my very limited testing so far, it seems to be true

Colin, I must have missed your comment #24; I'll try that. In the meantime, note that if I let rEFIt boot to OS X, it will *always* boot successfully to Ubuntu the next time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Setting debug=all doesn't provide anything useful. When it freezes, it still freezes before there's any output. When it doesn't freeze, I get all the expected debugging output to the console. About the only other bit of information I can provide is that when it does freeze, the keyboard stays

It may be worth putting 'set debug=all' at the top of grub.cfg and seeing how far it gets. (Warning: this can potentially take a *long* time to boot. In extremis you might even need to boot from a live CD or similar to remove it.) ** Package changed: grub (Ubuntu) = grub2 (Ubuntu) -- You

I do think the works half the time behavior of grub safe boot is coming into play. It's not exactly half the time but whenever I get a hang, I definitely get the grub screen afterward. Occasionally I get the grub screen more than once in a row though. I downgraded libplymouth2 plymouth

Since downgrading plymouth to the precise version doesn't fix it, it doesn't sound like plymouth itself is the culprit here. Reassigning to the kernel. Barry, have you checked whether setting GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text makes the boot reliable? ** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) = linux
