heads up - confirmed again post #11 above - made some tweak: edited lightdm.conf to change the default unity-greeter setting (wrongly using the logo from #7) by the lightdm-gtk-greeter, which is more logical on my installation as i've completly purged unity.
What i get: - now its really the lightdm login screen that is used. And of course there is no logo attached on this screen (compared to the previous unity-greeter setting) Conclusion: - plymouth cant be blamed as i understand - there is a mystery about this default unity-greeter setting into lightdm.conf using the wrong logo - even with unity-greeter NOT installed, that logo was (is) called. So this report is close to bug #892394 but also reveal this inconstancy of lightdm.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904622 Title: Still says 11.10 on precise on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/904622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
