Any hints which configurations to check for differences? And AFAIK Ubuntu uses the same kernel config for desktop and sever since 12.04 or something. What are the differences here? Shouldn't be a driver issue as only Kernel drivers are used, no proprietary sets.There are several questions I can't find an answer yet: When using the minimal set of of the corresponding Desktop image, quiet splash is the default cmdline and splash works fine. Same thing on an Intel NUC w/ UEFI and within a Parallels VM.


On a fresh 20.04.1 Server installation (no additional packages installed, absolute installer-default minimum set), just adding quiet splash to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub (which is empty by default), breaks the boot process. I'm aware that the internet is packed with 'quiet splash' kernel config issues regarding the boot process on several hardware sets, which generally leads to graphics issues that can be prevented with 'nomodeset' or similar.
