Dual Boot - Windows 7 64-bit Premium Edition & Ubuntu 10.10
3 GB RAM, 2.1 Ghz AMD Athlon II Dual Core, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Running that code results in the following output:
I'm going to restart and see if there's a new kernel and if it does anything...Code:robert@robert-laptop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth Nothing to configure. robert@robert-laptop:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic robert@robert-laptop:~$
UPDATE:
Rebooted and that code had no effect whatsoever - same white underscore cursor that blinked, and same ~15 second pause between the GRUB menu and my desktop.

I too have the same problem, from grub, I have 30 seconds of flashing - in the top left corner.
As soon as I see the ubuntu logo, it's 7 seconds till the login window.
Wish that was how fast it was from poweron.
I also see the same problem on my Lenovo T61p
I have 15 seconds of black screen from grub until the ubuntu splash, but then only 3-4 seconds until complete desktop (autologin). Bootchart shows 18-19 seconds boot time.
The ubuntu splash (the thing with the dots) shows only for about 1 second, and then a second or two more and I'm at my desktop.
So I am very happy with my boot time, but still, that black 15 seconds is strange...
This is with latest proprietary nvidia drivers/GeForce 8500 GT.

Ok, try this:
Code:gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
In the file that opens up, add:
FRAMEBUFFER=y
and save it. Then run:
This is from:Code:sudo update-initramfs -u

Thank you, John,
The last snippet worked.
However I read in the bug comments it is a bit dirty workaround and it might bring some performance overhead.
Some people also suggested adding some extra parameters to kernel start in GRUB:Code:video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-32I hope this helps other users for a smooth booting experience.Originally Posted by fireandfuel
It is odd that it was supposed to be fixed in the RC of 10.04 and some suggestions were made that video drivers must be loaded first.
I'm on Xubuntu 11.10 and I used to have 20 sec of black screen after the grub menu and 3 sec of splash before the login. This fix cut the black screen to about 10 sec... so a nice little improvement. I still have 10 sec of black screen though. Any idea how that can be sorted?
What will
do? (antitoxic's suggestion)Code:video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-32
I am having the same problem with ubuntu 10.04. My black screen, between grub and Plymouth logo, takes more than a minute. I have followed many threads including this one and the one here http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010...ricted-driver/ but no luck for me.
I am open for any suggestion that helps to fix annoying splash problem.
