Public bug reported: Please remove the "quiet splash" options from the default boot in Ubuntu server. This is undesirable behaviour for a server as it masks useful diagnostic output, and even prevents the server booting on some hardware combinations.
I have discovered that Ubuntu 20.04 fails to boot after a fresh installation on a Dell PowerEdge R640 in UEFI boot mode. I pinpointed this to an issue arising when attempting to display the boot splash screen, and removing the "quiet splash" options from the kernel boot line in GRUB fix the issue. Refer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1229910/ubuntu-20-04-black-screen- after-installing-no-booting for another example. I'm not actually concerned about the hardware incompatibility in the case of a server, rather I don't think "quiet splash" is an appropriate feature for a server and is even potentially detrimental such as in the example provided above. ** Affects: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915240 Title: Please remove "quiet splash" from default kernel flags in Ubuntu server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1915240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
