[Bug 1854640] Re: Multiple issues with plymouth-theme-spinner on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen

[Rimas Kudelis]

3 and 4 then, I guess?

Also, thanks for the pointers! I don't think the symptoms we're having are exactly same, but they're close enough to give it a shot at considering them as such.
Here's where I think our experience differs:
- My impression from bug 1838725 is that sometimes you don't see the boot logo at all, only the text mode animation, and some other times everything is fine. This isn't my case, because I do see (the black screen and later) the boot logo for most of the boot time before being thrown into text mode for a few seconds.
- In bug 1836858 your initial comment says that the logo disappears only "briefly". This is of course subjective, but I don't think half of the boot time is brief. :)

Title:
  Multiple issues with plymouth-theme-spinner on Lenovo Thinkpad X1
  Carbon 6th gen

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have multiple issues with plymouth-theme-spinner on my 6th
  generation X1 Carbon. I'll try listing them here.

  1. If I enable hard disk password in BIOS, neither Lenovo logo, nor
  the spinner is shown during bootup. Instead, I just get the black
  screen. I believe I do get the full experience with the logo and the
  spinner during shutdown though.

  2. When the hard disk password is disabled, I get the red Lenovo logo
  during bootup, but not the spinner. (I guess the spinner is the common
  issue between this and the first case).

  3. In both cases, the graphical bootup gets interrupted by the text-mode experience (where the word Ubuntu and four color-changing dots are shown in plain text) just before the display manager kicks in.
