Here we go: Step 1: zcat /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -t | grep plymouth 36924 blocks
Step 2: I reinstalled all Plymouth packages that I could find via Synaptics. Step 3: Then I booted with the plymouth:debug=file:/var/log/plymouth.log option, the log-file is attached to the comment. Actually during this boot I got a disc-check and the splash screen showed up during disc-check! Step 4: I booted again with the plymouth:debug option in order to make sure that the splash was not triggered by the disk-check. Result: The splash did actually show up for a couple of seconds just before the gdm-login screen appeared! Step 5: I wondered if the problem is fixed (perhaps due to step 2?) and reboot again. This time without the plymouth:debug option. Result: No splash shows up. This really makes me wonder what triggers that behaviour? Could it be that there is a 20 seconds delay required before plymouth shows a splash on my computer - and I just added the required extra seconds by the plymouth:debug option or the disc-check? Anyway this laptop requires roughly 20 seconds before showing the gdm- screen. Which makes my computer look like the exact use case for a splash screen. Any suggestions? ** Attachment added: "plymouth debug with disc-check - plymouth showing" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44846243/plymouth-debug-disc-check.log -- splash fails to show during boot (intel) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
