[Bug 1547302] Re: Check disc for defects boot option displays no text in Ubuntu Gnome Xenial

[sudodus]

I tried Lubuntu also in UEFI mode - still black screen. I tried without
quiet splash (edited the grub menu), and there is a complaint about
plymouth

Running /scripts/casper-bottom ... Connecting to plymouth: Connection
refused

Enter did not finish this (even after waiting for a long time), but
during the SysRq reisub sequence, the system was suddenly showing the
Lubuntu login screen, but I could not log in (with user: lubuntu and
password: [blank], which is possible after logging out of a live
session)

I think problems with plymouth is involved in this bug as well as in the
bug, where the passphrase is not displayed for encrypted disk, as well
as for not displaying the five dots.

Title:
  Check disc for defects boot option displays no text in Ubuntu Gnome
  Xenial

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160218 amd64 and I found that
  selected the check disc for defects option from the advanced boot menu
  displays no text. I'd guess from the hard drive and optical drive
  activity lights that the test is running but no text is displayed.
  Once the activity lights stop you can hit enter and reboot just as
  though the test had completed and displayed the results prompting to
  reboot.

  I also tested Ubuntu 20160218 amd64 and it works as expected so I
  guess this is Ubuntu GNOME specific.
