Any update on this? I'm probably experiencing this bug as well, although sometimes the systems seems to boot properly without any external intervention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

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

UPDATE: results are not consistently the same! I've performed some boot cycles now with the settings of of /etc/default/grub from my previous post and randomly in some cases the screen shows nothing and in some cases the boot messages and the login screen are visible. Only if I comment out the

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). So this is definitely not a bug in plymouth, but instead a problem with kernel video

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). Can you confirm whether option 2) gives you those results *consistently*? -- You received

Ok, I removed the custom custom GRUB_GFX* settings, ran sudo update-grub and tried two different procedures: 1. Reboot hit 'e' key when grub menu appears remove only the 'splash' option in the linux ... line (the '$vt_handoff' stays there) hit F10 boot starts: flashing cursor for ~10 seconds

Ok, but what is the behavior when booting without 'splash' and without custom GRUB_GFX settings? That's what we need to understand in order to characterize this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

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

Sorry, the recent post is wrong. The custom GRUB_GFX* settings GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text are needed for booting on my system! ( I forgot sudo update-grub after reset. If I use the default settings in /etc/default/grub and only remove 'splash', the behaviour is the same as

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? This will let us rule out a Plymouth problem.
