@Steve Langasek: Now the workaround actually worked! This confirms that my problem was a duplicate of bug #540801. I have no clue why it didn't work some weeks ago, but now it did the trick. I suspect that the splash has been broken at that time on my machine. Sorry for the noise. Thank you very much for your time and effort! Just in case somebody wants to try, just open a terminal and type the following. # to become superuser (root) (for whatever reason I could not use just sudo echo ... ): sudo su # type your password here echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash update-initramfs -u # exit root-mode: exit -- splash fails to show during boot (intel) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555214 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
