Just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a NUC replacing 19.10. The aforementioned issue has changed and it appears whatever was changed post 5.3.0-24 was done intentionally.
The machine finishes post and the normal Intel NUC splash screen appears with the F Keys displayed. The screen stays longer than before with the F Keys slowly fading away to be replaced with only the Intel NUC splash and the new Ubuntu logo. Both sharing the same screen. Then continuing on to the normal desktop if the auto login is enabled. The entire process about 7 seconds. I don't think this is a bug as I reported it. Folks that actually work on the kernel would know more than I but this certainly looks like the latest kernel was designed to use and control the Intel splash screen. On the Z77 using legacy boot the screen just stays black and boots in the same amount of time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858811 Title: Linux 5.3.0-26-generic kernel Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just after installation and reboot of Linux 5.3.0-26 kernel and reboot on two NUC machines UEFI they displayed the normal Intel splash screen followed by the normal grub menu. Then went back to the Intel splash screen again and continued to the desktop. I have another machine Asus Z77 with legacy boot and the same kernel update with no such issue. It should be noted that both NUC machines have been running since October last year with Ubuntu 18.10 without kernel issues up until now. As a result I have rolled back to Linux 5.3.0-24 and no such behavior is displayed. The NUCs involved are NUC7i7BNH and NUC5i7RYH.
