Ah right, I guess something has changed. The first case (booting with disk password) now acts closer to the second (booting without it), although I haven't tested the latter recently.
The issues that remain are: 1. The Lenovo logo only appears on screen after a significant delay. If feels as if about half the booting process has already happened at that time. Before it appears, I get to stare at a completely black screen. 2. I rebooted three times in a row on Saturday, and in all cases the graphical bootup got interrupted by the text-mode experience (where the word Ubuntu and four color-changing dots are shown in plain text) for a couple of seconds just before the display manager would kick in. 3. The spinner is not shown during boot-up, only during shutdown. 4. Even at shutdown the spinner is not exactly smooth: you get a white line below it just before it disappears, and there is an approx. 1.5 second delay between it disappearing and the computer rebooting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1854640 Title: Multiple issues with plymouth-theme-spinner on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1854640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
