Ramdisk boot messages do not display correctly when boot messages are enabled. Ubuntu 20.04.3

  • 772

I edited /etc/default/grub and changed the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

Then ran sudo update-grub and rebooted.

Ramdisk messages display like this during boot:

But the boot messages display correctly:

If I go into "recovery mode", Ramdisk boot messages display correctly. Is there a setting I am missing? I did not have this problem when I was running Ubuntu 18.04.6.

As requested, Here is my CPU info:

inxi -C

CPU:
  Topology: Dual Core model: Intel Celeron N3050 bits: 64 type: MCP 
  L2 cache: 1024 KiB 
  Speed: 547 MHz min/max: 480/2160 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 538 2: 480

    You will likely need to add the name of your video driver module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:

    1. Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules with sudo:

      sudo {editor of choice} /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

      Note: Be sure to replace {editor of choice} with your editor of choice.

    2. Add the name of your video driver module to the end of the file. Here is a short list outlining the most common values:

      Name Graphics Adapter
      amdgpu for modern AMD-based systems (use radeon if you have something from before 2010 or need the legacy ATI driver)
      i915 for Intel graphics
      nouveau for the open-source Nouveau driver
      mgag200 for the old-school Matrox graphics
      nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm for Nvidia ... because why have one option when you can have four? ?

    3. Save the file and exit

    4. Update initramfs:

      sudo update-initramfs -u

    5. Reboot

    This will give you everything you need.

    Note for people using full disk encryption:

    If you've also removed quiet from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, you will have a very 90's era experience when unlocking the volume. The nice password screen is replaced with a simple text-based "Enter password" after some of the preliminary boot messages are displayed.
