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

[Steve Langasek]

Since downgrading plymouth to the precise version doesn't fix it, it
doesn't sound like plymouth itself is the culprit here.  Reassigning to
the kernel.

Barry, have you checked whether setting GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text makes
the boot reliable?

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
