did a little bit of experimenting: removed splash from grub boot and updated grub forced a next boot check and rebooted the boot ended with a black tty screen with a blancking curser control alt f1 opened a new tty with a login screen start x / logged in and everything worked fine
the control alt f1 tric did not work with splash -- Lucid boot failed to complete after fsck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554079 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
