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

[Psychotron]

Try adding "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" to /etc/defaults/grub and that
should do it, you'll get the text splash at least. You might try setting
"nomodeset" kernel option, but it shouldn't be neccessary. quiet and
splash you can leave in. At least that's what I have here.
(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=pci") And don't forget
to run update-grub.

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.
