Splash screen flickers during every boot

Question

Splash screen flickers heavily during boot on my dell inspiron N5010 laptop,but disappears after some time by press Esc button(several times)..This happens everytime I boot... The problem exists in all linux-distros currently on ubuntu 12.10 64 bit... My laptop doesnt hav any dedicated graphics card but oly intel hd 3000

I hav enclosed boot.log,Dmesg.log ,Xorg.log and my system info respectively

Boot.log
Xorg.log

You could try to remove splash from the boot part: sudo nano /etc/default/grub and remove GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" splash from this line. — Dr_Bunsen, Nov 08 '12 at 09:29

Do you have a USB keyboard/Mouse/Wifi receiver? I had this same issue whenever I had my logitech wireless keyboard and mouse hooked up. The problem was fixed by removing it...

Put The following line instead of:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

in /etc/default/grub :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

Save it. And run sudo update-grub

It usually works.

That kinda worked but took my computer's ability to reduce screen brightness. Not good. – Ademola Adegbuyi Oct 24 '17 at 07:53

Summary:

Actually, you should remove everything from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash", so it will become GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="".

Temporary solution:

Before logging in (during boot process):

Press E in the Grub menu while Ubuntu is selected.

Update the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" portion of the file to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="".

Press F10 to boot.

Permanent solution:

After logging in:

sudo apt install gedit
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Update the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" portion of the file to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

Then,

sudo update-grub
