For me on 13.04 an alternate workaround was to configure /etc/default/nodm to start on vt8, although this leaves plymouth active on vt7, whether or not the splash option is on the kernel command line.
The workaround to add "plymouth --wait --quit || true" to /etc/init.d/nodm worked fine for me. Initially the symptoms matched #1070677, which somewhat confused my investigation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714492 Title: nodm screen may not show up depending on plymouth and tty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nodm/+bug/714492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
