Yes Ubuntu 24.04 introduced SimpleDRM, which is used for early boot graphics now. But there are a lot of moving parts and still some bugs.
** No longer affects: linux (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 24.04: Occasionally screen stays black while booting + Disk unlock prompt is never displayed. Screen stays black. ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Tags added: simpledrm -- 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/2083299 Title: Disk unlock prompt is never displayed. Screen stays black. Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Unfortunately the screen stays black before password prompt shows up. This happens since I've migrated from 22.04 to 24.04. Even a fresh install shows the same symptoms. What helps is to detach the HDMI cable, attach it again and the TV shows the password prompt for luks. I did not try yet the removal of "splash" in the parameters. As this was indicated by others who faced the same issue.
