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

[Barry Warsaw]

More data points:

* arch is i386
* at least half the time I don't even get to the grub screen
* I think removing "quiet" or "splash" is a red herring - if I get to grub the machine boots regardless of whether I edit the boot line, leave it alone, or just let grub timeout, etc.  obviously if I don't get to grub it doesn't boot.

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.
