[Bug 575974] [NEW] [lucid] Kernel boot options 'nosplash text' not fully respected

[Trond Melen]

Public bug reported:

When booting the linux kernel with the two options 'nosplash' and
'text', I think there should be no graphical splash screens displayed,
only text.  Still, in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx there is a splash screen
both after boot and before shutdown (with the package 'ubuntu-desktop'
installed, the splash screen is redish with 5 dots; with 'xubuntu-
desktop' its black&white with the word 'xubuntu').  These splash screens
may cause problems if there is a framebuffer issue with the system.

Regards,
Trond Melen
