Although not totally related I experienced this after correcting a SWAP UUID problem. I had resized my SWAP, thus changing the UUID, and after correcting the UUID's in /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs- tools/conf.d/resume, then running "update-initramfs -u" I was still unable to restore the plymouth "quiet splash".
I'd just have a black screen until gdm. If I reinstalled plymouth the "quiet splash" would work one time, then stop again. Creating "/etc /initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash" with "FRAMEBUFFER=y" and again running "update-initramfs -u" seems to have "fixed" this with no extreme slow- down in boot. I probably just need to learn some new tricks regarding UUID hell w/plymouth, ureadahead, and mountall. -- X server starts before Plymouth, or a very short time after (no or brief splash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540801 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
