I noted this new comment: "I am used to having such problems with Nvidia graphics is involved, but this is not the case on this laptop. It has been happily running 18.04."
In my case, I'm seeing this on machines that have been running *LTS 20.04* just fine UNTIL the updates to 20.04.1 started to roll out around September 12 or so. That's when the problems started. I started seeing this spinning logo hang in mid-September along with the initramfs errors on startup. Shortly after, I started seeing bug 1897185 (and other bug numbers as well) where the machine(s) go into suspend as soon as the login password is entered during startup. When I subsequently tried to reinstall Ubuntu, I encountered 1871268 and could not complete the reinstall. I have since managed to get around the install with third party drivers bug; but still encountered the initramfs problem, the spinning logo splash hangs, and the suspend after login password error... so these problems are pretty severe. Just thought you'd like to know that my experience with this problem occurred on machines that were running LTS 20.04 just fine until Ubuntu Updates mid-September. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872159 Title: Boot animation never finishes when external monitors (or just more than one) are connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plymouth/+bug/1872159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
