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

[Steve Langasek]

Luigi,

maybe the RC.

Ubuntu no longer issues RC images; beta2 now serves the same function as
the previous RC, but with a name which more accurately describes its
contents.  There should be no changes between now and the oneiric
release that would break your system, just as there shouldn't be between
the RC and final release.  But of course this is never certain, so I
understand if you prefer to wait.

It's not loaded the same way, but it definitely is loaded.  So that
would be an interesting data point.

Thanks for that.  I'll see what we can distill from this.

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

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