Cannot boot from hard drive

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. In order to determine if this issue is usplash related, please boot your computer with usplash disabled and then shutdown to see if you can reproduce the issue? To disable usplash for a single boot, follow these steps:

1. Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu.
2. Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press "e" to edit it.
3. Select the "kernel" line and press "e" to edit it.
4. At the end of the line, remove "splash" and "quiet" and press "enter".
5. Type "b" to boot the custom boot line.

Thanks.
We need you to answer some additional questions to try to find the problem.

Does the screen goes blank after the splash screen?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in xorg.
(With many applications, you can report a future bug directly on the appropriate package by opening the application's "Help" menu and choosing "Report a Problem". https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs)

Please add as separate attachments the following files:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/gdm

If you can't login on that machine to get the files, perhaps you could log in remotely with ssh or use a Live CD to access the hard drive and get the files.

Thanks.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Problem solved as per your instruction of "No Sploash"

Hum, ok. So you can boot without issues with usplash disabled.
Then it's a problem in plymouth and not in xorg.

Please open a terminal and execute the following command:
apport-collect 595352

Please run 'apport-collect 595352' to help us figure out the cause of this bug.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
