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 in my bugreport.) Booting with 'splash' option and custom GRUB_GFX* settings: flashing cursor for ~10 seconds splash screen for ~5 seconds login screen Booting without 'splash' option and custom GRUB_GFX* settings: flashing cursor for ~10 seconds boot messages login screen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173941 Title: Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't start/ show login screen/ after intallation or upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1173941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
