[Bug 771905] Re: (natty/nvidia) No logo at boot on nvidia card

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.99ubuntu6

---------------
initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu6) oneiric; urgency=low

  * scripts/init-top/framebuffer: fall back to vesafb if no other
    framebuffer is found/configured, so we can take full advantage of the
    grub gfxpayload handoff support.  This ensures we get a clean
    framebuffer-based plymouth screen even when using binary video drivers.

Title:
  (natty/nvidia) No logo at boot on nvidia card

Status in The Plymouth splash screen:
  Invalid
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
