Interesting, qkiz. This is what I experimented 1. Edit /etc/default/grub
Change the line – GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" 2. update grub sudo update-grub2 3. reboot. What I got: 1) plymouth seems to be disabled, there is no purple splash. In fact, the screen never go purple, it: 2) screen display black when lightdm started, black, with only a white movable mouse pointer. 3) Here I can type my password blindly, then the normal desktop shows up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453538 Title: Invisible mouse pointer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1453538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
