[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)

[pelm]

I think i have something like this bug on my system. When i was running
the Nouveau driver (now i have the Nvidia prorietary driver installed)
the system was booting correct but i don't saw the plymouth splash
screen. It was showing a short time (as a purple background, no ubuntu
text) popping at the beginning of system boot, but then immediately
turned the screen off (no error messages at all) and the boot continued
with the screen turned off. The computer booted ok though and the screen
turned on again opening lightdm, but no plymouth splash before. At
shutdown the splash is showing ok. With Nividia prorietary driver all is
as it should be. Ok, both boot and shutdown. System is 12.04 and graphic
card GeForce 7600 GS. With commandline option 'plymouth:force-drm' in
/etc/default/grub file the splash screen comes up short after the
initial purple popup. This is a option but not a good one.

Title:
  [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown
  (mountall error messages)

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my system, Plymouth shows properly on shutdown, but at boot I get a
  blank screen and an error from my monitor saying "No Signal", followed
  usually by some terminal text mentioning something like "mountall:
  Plymouth command failed".

  Then the Unity greeter comes up and everything after that runs just
  fine. It'd still be nice to see the boot splash, though.

  I've been getting this problem since I installed the 9/9/2011 daily
  build of Oneiric, but didn't get around to reporting it until today
  for some reason. Not sure if it's related to the fact that I cannot
  get grub to display either, despite this being a dual-boot between
  Oneiric and Natty, but I'll file that separately.
