I've read that already. However, as I already said, there is *no* difference, if vt.handoff is enabled or not. I've disabled vt.handoff now, as per above, and booting is very smooth:
- Grub boot menu appears (with customised background image) - after making a selection (or waiting until the boot countdown is up), background stays for 2-3 seconds - Plymouth boot screen appears seamlessly - once booting is completed, the LightDM login screen appears seamlessly All very smooth. At no point, there's a black screen for a few seconds, or screen flickering. Thus, as I see it, vt.handoff not only does *nothing*, but is even harmful, in that it prevents the boot screen from appearing, and you end up with a black screen during boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1057532 Title: Monitor goes black ("no signal") after Grub, comes back to life when X starts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1057532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
