Canonical's little reminders I'm not Ubuntu's target audience

posted by Zed on June 13 2012 07:13

I've installed the latest Ubuntu, 12.04 on a couple of machines, in my usual fashion -- with the alternate install CD, I set up whole disk encryption and install a command-line system, adding the rest of my desired environment on top of that.

And on boot, I'm left with a blinking cursor on a blank screen. I assume things work if you've installed Plymouth.

It's easy enough to fix once you understand the problem -- edit /etc/default/grub to remove "quiet splash" from the default boot options and update-grub.
