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

Hi Steve,

I have just tested with Oneiric Beta1 and I still don't have the Ubuntu
Logo when I boot. Still the same behavior after updating to the latest
packages. Here is my graphic adapter info :

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

Status in The Plymouth splash screen:
  Confirmed
Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
