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

[Simon Hirscher]

@Stephen: I had came to a similar idea. This is how my
/etc/default/grub looks like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth nosplash
kopt=root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root"
But it doesn't work for me most of the time, either.

Before I noticed that I could type in my cryptsetup password despite
the purple screen, I used to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. Mostly, I
would be in text boot mode the next time. Can anyone confirm this?

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.
