Title:
  funny thing happens with monitor during grub screen

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I've installed the latest ubuntu from your website
  (ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso, 695MB), installed everything without
  any problems (congratulations for making ubuntu recognize empty
  partitions and doing everything on its own during install process),
  but when I rebooted and when the grub boot screen should appear, it
  doesn't (or it does by I don't see it) because the monitor shows me
  some fancy colors, just like a TV test signal, when there is no
  program on that channel :)

  Something is happening in the background, I can hear hard disk
  working, but the screen just shows some sprites/fractals/something I
  can't even describe, but I think it went out of sync or something, not
  sure. However, after a while, ubuntu continues to load normally, but I
  wasn't able to log back into Windows again, because I couldn't see
  grub screen.

  I've manually moved /etc/grub.d/30_os_detect to
  /etc/grub.d/05_os_detect (im not sure if i nailed file names
  correctly, but i hope you know what i mean) and ran update-grub2 to
  make windows become a first choice and rebooted, so now I'm back in
  Windows and writting this bug report :)
