Yup

manager login screen appears.

Edit /boot/grub/menu.1st

Remove "quiet" from this line (your path will vary from mine, but you
get the idea):

		kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sdb2 ro quiet splash

Afterwards it should appear like this (your path will vary from mine,
but you get the idea):

		kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sdb2 ro splash

The next time you boot you'll see the system messages scrolling (albiet
much smaller than in Dapper).

$sudo rm /.hidden /media/.hidden
