Comment 115 for bug 516412

I was affected by this bug. Pressing Enter at any time forward from the login screen froze the system. No Ubuntu logo was visible during the boot, but there was a blue and white progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

Removing plymouth fixed the bug (removed it in Synaptic, not in safe mode)
- reinstalling plymouth brought the problem back
- removed plymouth again, and the bug is now gone
(removing plymouth made the system freeze at shut down - had to reset)

System:
Ubuntu Lucid daily live of 13.2.2009
AMD 64 bit
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with binary driver
