Title:
  blank screen on startup

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This boot screen with "Ubuntu" and the dots works fine on the live CD. But after installation it is either a blank  black screen (mostly) or occasionally a purple screen with "ubuntu" in a tiny terminal type character font.
  On shutdown it usually shows purple screen with a tiny white ubuntu and some console type message across the screen.
  Logout briefly shows a black screen with tiny ubuntu text.

  This is on a Dell E521 with an nVidia Geforce 7300 LE card using the
  nouveau driver. 32 bit PAE kernel.
