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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
