[Bug 1016170] Re: No login screen unless "quiet splash" removed from boot line

[Steve Langasek]

Can you check whether downgrading to the 12.04 version of the plymouth
packages fixes this issue?  There are a lot of moving parts here, it
could just as well be a kernel regression as a plymouth one.

Title:
  No login screen unless "quiet splash" removed from boot line

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm not entirely sure this is a Plymouth bug, but here is what's going
  on.

  MacBook Pro 1,1 running latest Quantal.

  This machine was running 12.04 just fine, then I upgraded it to 12.10.
  Now, whenever I boot it, I just end up with a black screen, no login
  screen, no apparent cursor, no response to keyboard.

  If, at the grub screen, I edit the boot line and remove "quiet
  splash", the machine boots to its login screen, although it sometimes
  takes quite a long time.  I don't see much on the console output that
  indicates what's going on though.
