[Bug 771905] Re: No logo at boot on nvidia card

[Luigi Pezzotta]

I actually don't see the grub menu, since I have only Ubuntu 11.04
installed. After the BIOS screen, I only get a brief black screen (with
the usual "flashing underscore", I don't know how it's called), then the
completely purple screen described here.

Another thing: I have a similar problem on my netbook, which has an
Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3150. The behaviour is almost the same,
but after the purple screen (which stays like that most of the time) the
logo appears for a little while before the boot sequence is completed.
Looks like plymouth shows the logo late for some reason.

When I turn off the pc, the logo always appears as expected on the
netbook, while it appears only sometimes on my laptop (which mounts a
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS with proprietary drivers). On the laptop it
usually has a couple of issues: the logo appears, but the dots do not;
also, the bottom part of the screen is black and messages showing the
status of the "switch off sequence" appear.

  No logo at boot on nvidia card

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Hello,
  I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, with proprietary drivers, and I am using Ubuntu Natty.

  Since I updated to Natty (it was the Beta 2 version), plymouth only
  shows a purple screen, without logo and without dots. It's simply
  purple.

  Note that, before updating, I had already solved the issue which made
  plymouth show the Ubuntu logo textual theme instead of the graphic one
  with proprietary drivers on Nvidia cards, so I don't think it's
  related (unless some of the files I modified were reset during the
  update, I don't know). This time, however, I don't even get the
  "default" text theme.
