Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
The transition between Plymouth and GDM is far from smooth, involving (in my experience) a brief black screen. This needn't be the case if this post (http://
I don't know whether this is technically feasible, or even desirable, within Ubuntu. However that non-smooth Plymouth➔GDM is a blight on an otherwise splendid start-up process.

I've tried adding GDM as an 'also affects' but for some reason launchpad only offers me the option to link upstream. If someone more experienced in the ways of launchpad stumbles across this bug, would you be so kind as to add GDM as an 'also affects'.
Thank you.
P.S.: Surely It should be 'also Effects' and not 'also Affects'; the later implies an emotional context (affection) and so you would only use it (affect) when referring to something which effects a person/animals emotional state.
