I had the same problem and it was easily fixed by an addition to the kernel boot command. In addition to "nouveau.modset=0" to deactivate the default driver and allow it to use the proprietary driver I also added "vga=868" (no quotes in either one) to the kernel command. Where 868 is the code that represents your screen found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers
>From what I can tell, once the NVidia driver starts, there is no issue, but the kernel starts before that, so the vga=### command tells the kernel what resolution to use. -- Plymouth doesn't show Kubuntu or Ubuntu logo with Nvidia proprietary driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653274 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
