Sorry for being unclear here. Once the grub menu disappears, the screen goes black for quite a while and the next thing I see is the brownish background with the "moving line". A few seconds later, I see the gdm greeter where I can chose the user and enter the password.
In general, this would be fine with me, however during one of the system boots, there was a forced fsck. And this happens during the screen is completely black. So no message, no possibility to skip, just a looong period of black screen (and permanent disk io, of course). Hope this helps and thanks, Hans. -- ubuntu logo does not appear on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440911 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
