Title:
  Check disc for defects boot option displays no text in Ubuntu Gnome
  Xenial

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just testing Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160218 amd64 and I found that
  selected the check disc for defects option from the advanced boot menu
  displays no text. I'd guess from the hard drive and optical drive
  activity lights that the test is running but no text is displayed.
  Once the activity lights stop you can hit enter and reboot just as
  though the test had completed and displayed the results prompting to
  reboot.

  I also tested Ubuntu 20160218 amd64 and it works as expected so I
  guess this is Ubuntu GNOME specific.
