OK, I installed the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo package and it is now without any text at all. Not even the intended messages!
At boot-up there is a brief flash of something odd, but nothing now at reboot. Attached is the single frame out of the camera's video clip showing the boot-up oddity. If you want to see exactly what I am doing, there is a section on this page with a download link to the backup scripts, and links to an explanation of how/why it works (or at least, should do!). http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/~psc/Ubuntu/ubuntu-stuff.html It is the file pbackupd in the .tar.gz archive that launches the back-up script and then monitored the backup file's name/size and prints the progress message to the monitor. ** Attachment added: "Odd apperance of plymouth during boot-up" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48737627/Screenshot-MVI_1724.AVI-1.png -- plymouth text messages fail with radeon.modeset=0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575808 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
