[Bug 728781] Re: ugly plymouth animation during booting with nvidia driver

[Le Gluon Du Net]

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04. It appears when you install
NVIDIA proprietary drivers, even if they are installed from the
official Ubuntu repositories. Ubuntu is used by a large population,
today this bug is easy to resolve, why you just don't add this line to
grub by default:

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto

or at less add it to the NVIDIA drivers installatio nscript from the
official Ubuntu repositories.
