If you edit /boot/grub.cfg and override the "timeout" lines to be "timeout=0", grub never displays a boot menu, but instead jumps straight to booting the default option. In this case, the password prompt is visible for me.
IIRC, by default, Ubuntu configures grub to *not* display the menu (hence this works for everyone) *unless* you have another OS installed (e.g. Windows), in which case, grub is configured to display the menu so you can choose (and displaying the menu, without displaying the editing screen seems to be the related to this problem) Does everyone affected see the grub menu during boot, but others (who unfortunately probably won't be reading this bug...) not? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771905 Title: No logo at boot on nvidia card -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
