2) Open your /boot/grub/menu.lst (using sudo and a text editor) and get to the following part: ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the ## alternatives ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 # defoptions=quiet splash DO NOT uncomment it, just make it look like the following: ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the ## alternatives ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 # defoptions=quiet Save the file and exit. 3) type: sudo update-grub then make sure that the word "splash" it's gone from your /boot/grub/menu.lst 4) Restart your computer and see if you can reproduce the problem. -- X crashes on logout - takes long to come up on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250891 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
