Title:
  System will not boot with default settings of "gfxmode
  $linux_gfx_mode"

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu by default has the line "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" in the GRUB
  entry I use to boot.

  If this line is in GRUB, the system hangs on a windowed purple screen.
  It will not boot.

  To boot into Ubuntu, I must manually remove this line.

  Hardware is a Thinkpad T520. Occurs in both 12.04 and 12.10 Beta 1.
