The softpedia workaround works for me using proprietary Nvidia drivers, BUT when I hibernate my machine, it won't come resume - it just hangs. Not sure if this reported as another bug or not, but some googling has indicated that using uvesafb with the proprietary nvidia drivers can cause hibernate/resume problems.

I'm on 10.10 and I am using the proprietary fglrx driver for my Radeon3100. I have an ugly splash screen, ugly boot messages and ugly console screens. So nothing happened, as far as I can see, to this in Meerkat. I've tried modifying /etc/default/grub setting GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX.

But the problem is that 1280x1024 and lower resolutions show properly,but the logo is centered and I get a ~1cm vertical line on the right, and if I set like 1620x1200 then the logo is ugly and I get flickering and some text like it was in alpha2 or beta1 releases.

sanctimon, it sounds like you are experiencing Bug #516958 which looks like it is awaiting more detailed user feedback. If you can manage it, I recommend you attach a picture of the three Ubuntu logos to that bug. Also post which version of plymouth you have installed, then subscribe to the bug so that you'll be notified if more feedback is requested and finally, click on the following link while you're logged in to Launchpad, to let the developers know that this bug affects you too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/516958/+affectsmetoo -- ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 551013] Re: ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply
Same here, on a 64-bit system, fresh install (upgraded from 9.04 and then did fresh install to test if it solves the issue). No splash screen appears after GRUB selection. A long black screen, only during the late stages of which the hard drive can be heard doing anything. Intel Core Two Duo nVidia GeForce 8800 640MB (current version drivers installed) After a relatively long wait (was not the case with 9.04 and previous versions), there are 5 dots with scrambled colours on screen followed by 3 "Ubuntu" logos appearing on screen with a few dots beneath them. This only lasts a second and then the logon screen appears. Same phenomenon when shutting down (3 "Ubuntu" logos coloured weird and with blurred lettering pop up for a second). I will give this proposed solution a try, providing it does not remove the proprietary drivers. -- ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 551013] Re: ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply
Here is the same solution targeted at Linux beginners. http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth- Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml Countless Ubuntu users enable a proprietary graphics driver when the hardware drivers notification icon first appears right after logging in for the first time. This bug is going to leave a bad impression on every single one of them when the splash screen which they will have previously seen at the correct resolution is suddenly at the wrong resolution during every subsequent startup. Many of those users will search and find this difficult-for-a-beginner seven-step workaround. Many others will search and find either harder to follow instructions or inaccurate instructions. Alvin's lighthearted comment, that Canonical allowed this bug to slip in order to serve as a reminder that closed source drivers are bad, which I hope has no truth to it, is the very real and very negative impression which people will be left with. From their perspective, the fully functional 'bad' closed source drivers are being intentionally ignored in order to promote the significantly less functional 'good' open source drivers. Because of the high visibility of this bug to such an extremely large portion of the Ubuntu user base, I implore you, for the sake of Ubuntu's reputation and public image, please commit a proper fix to automatically make the necessary system changes when a proprietary graphics driver is enabled so that the native resolution, or as close to the native resolution as the video BIOS interface will allow, will be be displayed on the full disk encryption password screen, the boot splash screen and the virtual terminal screen. If the proper fix is outside the scope of plymouth, someone please forward this bug to the appropriate developer. -- ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 551013] Re: ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply
This problem occurred for me, but I found a very good solution which I hope will be pushed upstream. The changes should be applied when proprietary graphics drivers are enabled and reverted when proprietary graphics are disabled. One of the steps involves choosing the ideal resolution for the splash screen, but since the system would most likely already be using the ideal resolution when the proprietary graphics driver is enabled, the installer could just detect what resolution is currently being used. http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high- resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with- proprietaryrestricted-driver/ -- ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

mabawsa, thanks for your reply! Now I found my way trough this... First I blacklisted vga16fb, and then uvesafb started working but sadly loaded after plymouth, so I seen the text mode splash on a high res terminal at the top-left corner... then I removed uvesafb from the modules file, and put instead in the video= kernel parameter and that work's fine, even when I removed the blacklist from vga16fb... So the solution that works for me: install v86d edit /etc/default/grub and add video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x800-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap after splash in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line.

u-foka Strange as this is the same GPU to my one (can you run the following command to make sure?) ~$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) What kind of boot experience do you get? Did you alter any of the grub files? if so you will have to comment these out and update-grub. can you type: cat /proc/fb If it says 0 VESA VGA then VESA is loaded and you may have to play around with mode_option=1280x800-32, else it may be that you have uvesafb blacklisted somewhere. In that case you need to check the blacklist files in modprobe.d directory.

The ugliness has only just begun, as we have started to change the packages. Normally, plymouth falls back to a text-mode when a proprietary driver is installed, and this is much better than, if all users get a lower nice bootscreen.

I found this bug because I thought my card might be defective, but I see this is the 'norm'. If something isn't done to alleviate the ugly appearance, I predict there will be a lot of new Kubuntu users opening tickets here next month for "broken" bootsplash screens. I'm going to see if I can change the kernel options to disable splash.

Re: [Bug 551013] Re: ubuntu-logo on VGA fb (as with nvidia or fglrx binary drivers) does not display crisply
My god :( Who the hell cares about KMS, i know, i know it's a good thing, I agree, but can not compared to have a good looking boot with an accelerated X... and a switch in a second between the two... Nowdays, the mayoralty of users have lcd displays, where the native resolution much more important (because lower resolutions results a blurred image) than the mode switch which is smooth (and many users even don't notice it) without kms... So what I mean... kms is GOOD, plymouth is GOOD, nouveau is GOOD, but I absolutely sure, that who pays for any NVIDIA gpu, he/she want to use it's power, so it's pointless to say that use nouveau instead of the proprietary driver... Good to have nouveau instead of nv on the livecd, but it pointless to ask users to use it on their installed systems, until it can't provide stable efficient 3D support for all gpu's! So this HAVE to be fixed! As far as I know, plymouth doesn't depends on KMS, so we have to make vesafb to work for nvidia users (I use it since ages, and have no problems at all nor suspend or any other problems, only Bug #550104 that seems to caused by plymouth itself) And finally, thanks for all the crew to making ubuntu the BEST os around, but I can't understand that HYPE around the bootsplash... usplash was really good, I liked it (even made some themes for it) but since ubuntu started to "improve" it's boot experience I no more have a native resolution boot out of the box, and now I even can't make it work by hand :( so please KEEP ubuntu the best!!

This solution is not very useful if you need 3D acceleration. I insist, maybe a solution could be that. 1. The default drivers for nvidia cards are nouveau. 2. if you want 3d acceleration you install the propietary drivers. 3. When you install the propietary drivers form the repositories the package configures the system for use the nouveau driver to boot up and run plymouth, and after running plymouth the system unloads the nouveau driver and loads the propietary driver to use the 3D accelerated desktop.
