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

[Steve Langasek]

It's not at all clear why loading vesafb from the initramfs would have
any effect, given that /etc/init/udev-fallback-graphics.conf should
already ensure that vesafb is loaded before plymouth starts.  It's
possible that vesafb needs to be loaded *before* the nvidia driver to
have the necessary effect; that seems to be a change from past behavior
of the drivers.

** Summary changed:

- No logo at boot on nvidia card
+ (natty/nvidia) No logo at boot on nvidia card

Title:
  (natty/nvidia) No logo at boot on nvidia card

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

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.
