["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

LSL, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  System occasionally fails to start only producing a black screen with
  stationary artifacts at the top

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Occasionally (every 15 - 20 boots I estimate) it seems that plymouth
  fails to start, and instead I only get a black screen with what
  appears to be stationary pixel artifacts of an orange and brownish
  color at the very top (half inch) of the screen in a sporadic manner
  indefinitely. All I have to do to solve the issue is just do a hard
  reset, and it has always successfully loaded plymouth afterwards. I
  don't know what logs to check for this, so whatever may be needed just
  let me know.
