Here same problem after a fresh install of 9.10. But found a possible cause: by increasing (in my case) the bootloader (grub2)menu reslolution (in Startup-Manager). After a restart the text had disappeared. Disadvantage: Text in the bootloader is very small now and hard to read.
Most likely this bug is related to Grub2 implementation. In another desktop PC I upgraded from 9.04 (saving Grub1) and did not have the problem. -- Xsplash does not start till very late into boot process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
