Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
This is what happens: Every now and then, ubuntu seems to freeze in plymouth while displaying the logo and the spinning dots. Normally, the boot-up prozess on my ATI R300 equipped Thinkpad R52 works smooth (and looks great, by the way), but sometimes, the spinning-dots are displayed a lot longer these time while the hdd-led keeps on until after sometime, the dots stop moving and nothing happens anymore. These two facts seem to be related to this problem: 1.) It is the first startup process on the laptop since powering it completly off. It doesn't seem to happen after reboots or even if i started win7 before booting in ubuntu on the machine. 2.) i do skip the grub-menu by pressing enter or another key which causes to but ubuntu before the grub timeout. I my very incomplete understanding of how upstart/plymouth work, this may be timing problem?
