Same issue here, fresh install of Natty - so new in fact that I just wiped my system and re-installed prior to writing this message. I get one or two seconds of black screen with a flashing cursor, then 10-15 seconds of black screen (sans cursor), then maybe the boot splash will appear for a brief moment, followed by my desktop.
The workaround in comment #2 does not work for me, nor does the Lucid/Maverick "fix the big and ugly logo" method (which includes the steps from comment #2). Occurs with both the default open source ATI driver and with fglrx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540801 Title: X server starts before Plymouth, or a very short time after (no or brief splash) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
