[Bug 771905] Re: No logo at boot on nvidia card

[Stephen Warren]

If you edit /boot/grub.cfg and override the "timeout" lines to be
"timeout=0", grub never displays a boot menu, but instead jumps straight
to booting the default option. In this case, the password prompt is
visible for me.

IIRC, by default, Ubuntu configures grub to *not* display the menu
(hence this works for everyone) *unless* you have another OS installed
(e.g. Windows), in which case, grub is configured to display the menu so
you can choose (and displaying the menu, without displaying the editing
screen seems to be the related to this problem)

Does everyone affected see the grub menu during boot, but others (who
unfortunately probably won't be reading this bug...) not?

Title:
  No logo at boot on nvidia card

Status in The Plymouth splash screen:
  Confirmed
Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Hello,
  I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, with proprietary drivers, and I am using Ubuntu Natty.

  Since I updated to Natty (it was the Beta 2 version), plymouth only
  shows a purple screen, without logo and without dots. It's simply
  purple.

  Note that, before updating, I had already solved the issue which made
  plymouth show the Ubuntu logo textual theme instead of the graphic one
  with proprietary drivers on Nvidia cards, so I don't think it's
  related (unless some of the files I modified were reset during the
  update, I don't know). This time, however, I don't even get the
  "default" text theme.
