[Bug 1063969] Re: No Plymouth Splash on Latitude E6420

[Steve Langasek]

The plymouth splash doesn't display because according to the information
attached to your bug report, it has no framebuffer to display it on.
This is a direct result of a recent change to the nvidia-graphics-
drivers package.  Reassigning.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-drivers
(Ubuntu)

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Critical

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Alberto Milone (albertomilone)

** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Quantal)

Bug description:
  On my Latitude E6420 running Kubuntu 12.10 (64-bit) with all updates,
  there is no splash screen. Instead, I just see text. This laptop has
  Nvidia graphics, though Optimus is disabled so that is not the issue.
