In /etc/default/grub when I change splash to nosplash and run update-grub, after a reboot, everything is super laggy (e.g. if I type a letter, it takes 10 seconds for the letter to appear).

And yes, I have already tried reverting back to splash to ensure this was the cause.

Why and how do I fix this?

P.s. I need "nosplash" because of this issue: During boot, the OS would request my password to decrypt my disk but wouldn't detect my input. I tried following this solution: Cannot enter password to start Ubuntu

  • You don't need nosplash. Either use splash or remove it. What happens when you remove both splash AND nosplash? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 01 '18 at 00:08
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix I wish that were true. I tested it on my host today to see if I could duplicate the slowness and without both splash and nosplash my system would not come up to the GUI. I had to have one or the other there for it to work properly. Running Xubuntu 16.04.4. – Terrance Mar 01 '18 at 01:56
  • @Terrance definitely a bug. I'm still on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and have turned off updates since January 1, 2018. I have both splash and nosplash removed in my /etc/default/grub and have been running kernel versions 4.14.10 to 4.14.21 successfully over that time. I've just 4.14.23 and will reboot soon. 4.14.22 has mysteriously disappeared. I will report back if there is a problem but, if history is indicative of the future there will not be a problem. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 01 '18 at 02:28
  • Note to "unclear" close voters: I think the question is clear. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 01 '18 at 02:30
  • The question is clear but the title conflicts with the question. Plus, this question may not be answerable in its present state, and if it is a bug it needs to be reported. – Terrance Mar 01 '18 at 02:45
  • @user535733 What makes you think I've fixed it? All I've done is gone back to splash but that creates other problems for me. I need to move to nosplash. – Ryan Mar 02 '18 at 15:58
  • @Terrance Yikes, you're right. Sorry about that. Fixed it. – Ryan Mar 02 '18 at 15:59
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix I've updated my questions to explain why I need nosplash. And thanks for your help. – Ryan Mar 02 '18 at 15:59
  • @Terrance I think it is a bug, but I'm relatively new and would appreciate some input here. – Ryan Mar 02 '18 at 16:02
  • You file bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ Make sure to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs on how to file the bug. I don't run disk encryption and I get two different results on two different systems when it comes to if I have splash / nosplash or none, so I may not be much more help here. – Terrance Mar 02 '18 at 16:45
