After wasting two hours rebooting my machine to figure out why nosplash is not recognized, I realized that it's probably looking for the string "splash" in /proc/cmdline.
Indeed, "nosplash" was the cause of the splash screen, and removing it entirely disables the splash screen... I remember with usplash, removing splash was not always enough, so this is confusing. Also, while doing this, I found out how to disable the graphical splash. For those people who like a splash screen but do not want the framebuffer issues, there is a text-only splash screen available: echo FRAMEBUFFER=n | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo Also--shouldn't this bug be filed under "plymouth" and not "linux"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575974 Title: [lucid] Kernel boot options 'nosplash text' not fully respected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/575974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
