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

[Daniel van Vugt]

Hmm, both of the suggested workarounds seem to fail on a Macbook Air
(Nvidia 320M) in the same way: causing a black screen with blinking
cursor. Without the workarounds it's a purple screen with no cursor.

I still suspect there might be a related issue for systems which boot
quickly, especially with fast SSDs. In those cases, maybe plymouth and
plymouthd just never have time to do anything between the kernel
finishing booting, and X (gdm) starting. Just a theory right now. I may
find the time to try and prove it later...

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.
