That's been fixed for 4 years already. The timeouts that caused bug 1838725 were due to the kernel graphics driver (i915) taking more than 5 seconds to start. But in Noble we load simpledrm immediately in the first second or two so that *should* never happen.
Of course Plymouth is fussy and will refuse to use simpledrm until the timeout has expired. It should always be able to use simpledrm after that 8 seconds in the worst case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063109 Title: Plymouth uses the text-based boot screen on some machines, sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/2063109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
