Thank you very much SeijiSensei for your comprehensive reply.

Indeed, installing postfix did not solve my original issue (which was needing to see how notifications go out on certain webapps such...

Thank you TheFu.

Ok, thanks guiverc

Thanks spjackson - in the meantime I had tried to install mailutils which happened to automatically install postfix so I think you're right.


So, do I assume there is no default email server that...

Hi, sorry for the naive question but I am out of my depth when it comes to mail config:

I have a couple of Lubuntu desktop installations: 18.04 alternate version and a 18.10.


I use them for...

Tried a selective kernel upgrade, from 4.15.0-20-generic to 4.15.0-21-generic.

Plymouth splash screen still shows up as it should after this upgrade.

Hi Claus7, no worries.


Yes, as part of the troubleshooting process I will - at some point - try different Virtualbox versions to further attempt to isolate the problem.


After all, if the...

I appreciate that. It's just that I find this specific glitch puzzling and enjoyable to troubleshoot at the same time, although you are right that it's probably just cosmetic, and happens only during...

Also, I tried a 64-bit install which did not work from the start (graphical issues). Given I did this for troubleshooting purposes, I am going to assume that all the other 64-bit versions present...

This seemed inconsistent with my initial assumptions that the kernel version might be responsible for the issue. Also, this would have left the 'Alternate' image as the only one not presenting the...

Thanks CatKiller,

this would actually be consistent with what I had read on It's Foss in this article https://itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-5/

Thanks Claus7,

I have just tried installing and switching to gdm3, unfortunately it did not make a difference, and neither does switching back.

Since I'm trying different installs to try and...

Uncommented the following line in GRUB to see if forcing a resolution would make a difference.


GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

to no avail.


By the way, there's no differences in GRUB between the...

I have a similar issue with Plymouth, which I am documenting here. I don't have a NVIDIA card, though.

Update: I have installed images from lubuntu-18.04-desktop-i386.iso and lubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-i386.iso, with various install options (i.e. minimal/full, download/don't download drivers, etc.) but...

Ok, thanks for clarifying - about the kernel: the version I currently have is Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-54-generic. I don't know why I'm not being offered a newer version. Perhaps it's got something to do...

About the plymouth issue: in your first post you mentioned that after reinstalling plymouth and lightdm you have not experienced such an issue after that.

Yet it seems that you still experienced...

Hi Claus7, thanks - I've just tried this: either reinstalling lightdm and plymouth as standalone or reinstalling with all their components did not solve the issue.

I want to check: when you say...

Update: For comparison, I've installed Lubuntu 32-bit 18.10. After installing all the updates there does not seem to be the same issue with version 18.04.

Hi everybody

Been having the following issue: on a Virtualbox Lubuntu installation my Plymouth splash screen shows at boot time, however if I upgrade the kernel, next time I boot the splash screen...

Thank you oldfred for the great support!

Done, thank you.

Hi guys

I have a SSO login which I think is working. I say I think because as far as SSO is concerned I am logged in. However, when attempting to log onto ubuntuforums.org I get an error message...
