Additional notes: running 'stop gdm; plymouthd; plymouth show-splash' works fine.
Also, all I need to do for the system to boot properly is to get in the grub menu, modify anything on the kernel line (e.g. just added only one space at the end) and it worked fine. If I boot straight using the menu item, it just hangs. -- plymouth fails to start on HP Mini 500 (blank screen) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558684 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
