I have noticed that almost 30% of the times, ubuntu gets stuck at the "purple" screen before the actual Ubuntu symbol comes when the OS loads.

Why is this and how can I fix it?

PS: I have this peculiar entry in boot menu. 1st its "Ubuntu" and then when I choose the other option it takes me to the 3.2's generic and safe kernel version. Interestingly I am using the 3.5.0-17 generic version of the kernel. (is this the latest for ubuntu?)

I'm facing this problem too. However, it helps to move your mouse during boot. Doesn't happen when grub is in hidden boot. If you aren't multibooting, try edit /etc/default/grub to enable hidden boot.
