Same issue here. I've got 10.04 running on my HD Home Theatre PC (in fact, that I bought especially to run Lynx on).
Splash was working beautifully (sort of) until I installed the nVidia proprietary drivers (essential for decent video experience etc). Now, I have the flashing cursor / big, dog-ugly splashes. I'm ordinarily OK with hacking things about to get it to work, but on this occasion I've not been able to fix this, and I've 'run out of steam' with something that I think should work out of the box. It's making Ubuntu a hard-sell to the tens of people I've converted, former Windows users who value superficial 'shiny' things and make comparisons to W7 boxes they've seen. It's a hard question for me to answer when they ask me why it doesn't look as nice as their former 9.10 installation did on boot-up. As another commenter has said, I'd rather it take a few seconds longer to boot and retain as nice a boot experience as 9.10 did. I don't want to loose my Ubuntu users on the basis of something so trivial, but that's how it works in the minds of the non tech-savvy. -- Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
