[Ionut Nechita]

Hello,

I installed today Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Official and Ubuntu Unity - 24.04.
And i notice behaviour regarding plymouth and splash parameter.

When have splash parameter in cmdline, desktop remain with black screen forever.

For workaround, i remove "splash" parameter from cmdline.

Next time the problem happens, please try:

  Ctrl + Alt + F1

If that doesn't fix it then please reboot without "splash" and then run:

  journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt

and attach the resulting text file here.
