I had a similar problem after installing nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 10.04. I fixed it following this tutorial, option 1: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth- Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
After upgrading to 10.10 the workaround is still working, and I see a nice boot screen. This my grub.cfg line: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=d8df72bc-5eb0-4f73 -98bc-2561cd4e6ced ro quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap And my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash content: cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash FRAMEBUFFER=y Hope it helps! -- 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
