Comment 11 for bug 1570901

Tim's observation "I am only getting the ubiquity greeter on about 1 in 3 boots, the rest of the time it boots straight through to the live session" and an observation that I made running without quiet splash, makes me think it is some kind of timeout or race condition.

I saw something counting down (in the text screen during booting. It might make a difference if that countdown will finish or not, and I think that things are faster without splash.
