[Bug 932014] Re: Plymouth Logo doesn't work with Nvidia Drivers and fall back to text mode

[zzecool]

This is very frustrating because when the user for the first time uses
the Ubuntu Live Cd  he is staring the very nice loading screen  with the
ubuntu logo   but after the permanent install,  if he installs the
appropriate  drivers for his vga  ( in our situation the Nvidia ) on the
next system restart  he only gets the ugly  Text loading screen   (  the
fallback  plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text ) and so on   .


There where numerous guides and walkthroughs  in forums  that advice to modify config file to make the framebuffer earlier on boot etc .  In previous versions of ubuntu this was a temporary fix but not for oneiric or precise  ....     

This must be fixed once and for all from the plymouth team .

Thank you
