Bug Description

Binary package hint: plymouth

Installed Xubuntu 8.04, installed all upgrades, restarted the system. I then ran the upgrade using 'update-manager -d'. No splash screens are shown between the grub and Xubuntu splash. Instead I am seeing many text messages, ???udev will be removed in the next version.

Since I forgot to enable bootlogd, I will attach the dmesg.txt after another restart

What does "???udev will be removed in the next version." mean? Is that a quote of a message that was shown on your screen?

In general, no splash + text messages is bug #535108.

Changed in plymouth (Ubuntu):

Yes, sorry, "???udev will be removed in the next version" is the part of the messages I could catch. There are several numbers in front of udev, and the wording may be slightly different and longer.

This does not look like the same thing as bug 535108, since I am not seeing anything except the text messages before the Xubuntu splash screen kicks in.

I have searched the log files, and can not find the messages recorded anywhere. Is there a way to force it to log them, so I can capture the exact message?

I guess I should add, I do have another system with lucid running on it, and I see the plymouth screen on it. It displays as a purple background, with Ubuntu and four dots under it, until the xubuntu splash screen replaces it.
