Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
I am running Kubuntu Lucid 10.04, installed from Alpha 3 with an ATI Radeon R4550 with the open source driver (that is, no additional drivers installed).
I just upgraded to a working plymouth+mountall:
ii mountall 2.8 filesystem mounting tool
ii plymouth 0.8.0~-14 graphical boot animation and logger - main package
My system boots, but hangs on the splash screen. I cannot use ctrl+alt+f* to switch to KDM or a terminal. However, I can SSH in and the system appears to be up and KDM is running. Strangely I had two of these processes running:
xinit /etc/gdm/
even though I do not have GDM installed.
As a side note, I tried reporting this using apport (ubuntu-bug) but I get this error: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection."

The system boots fine if I add the 'nomodeset' boot argument.
