This bug seems to be dependant on the user to have a encrypted home folder or not. If not encrypted installing themes works, if encrypted only shutdown works.

[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)
FWIW, based on the above comments and my experience I'd lay at least some of the blame on this on nouveau: I have two setups affected by the Plymouth no-show, both with Nvidia graphics: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) and 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) At the same time all the other systems I have access to that run Precise on non-Nvidia graphics (some half dozen computers, old and new) don't manifest it, i.e. they display Plymouth's boot logo screen just fine on every boot without any workarounds. (The Nvidias need either FRAMEBUFFER=y or plymouth:force-drm.) Also, on the G73, Grub menu shows at a low resolution without GRUB_GFXMODE specified, but on the C61 it's Out of range. It shows on both if I specify 1280x1024 (the maximum supported by the connected LCDs) as GRUB_GFXMODE. This too is Nvidia-specific, though I suppose the Grub menu is outside nouveau's jurisdiction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850895 Title: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/850895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)
I think i have something like this bug on my system. When i was running the Nouveau driver (now i have the Nvidia prorietary driver installed) the system was booting correct but i don't saw the plymouth splash screen. It was showing a short time (as a purple background, no ubuntu text) popping at the beginning of system boot, but then immediately turned the screen off (no error messages at all) and the boot continued with the screen turned off. The computer booted ok though and the screen turned on again opening lightdm, but no plymouth splash before. At shutdown the splash is showing ok. With Nividia prorietary driver all is as it should be. Ok, both boot and shutdown. System is 12.04 and graphic card GeForce 7600 GS. With commandline option 'plymouth:force-drm' in /etc/default/grub file the splash screen comes up short after the initial purple popup.

Interesting; sure enough, there's the 2048x1536 resolution that shows up in the plymouth log, and 1680x1050 does not appear in the vbeinfo list. So it looks like you're going to end up with a stretched GRUB menu no matter what, because there are no widescreen 16:10 modes in the list.

I just tried the 1280x1024 resolution. It looks better resolution-wise, but it's no longer centered onscreen, and instead is slightly off to the left, leaving a black bar at the right edge. Running vbeinfo in that resolution left no artifacts, but was still off- center. It did produce the full output legibly, but I couldn't really get a good enough picture with my laptop that would also be readable.

[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)
WarriorIng64, From the context of your AskUbuntu thread, I understand that the root issue here is a mismatch between your video card's preferred VBE mode (as returned by the 'vbeinfo' command in grub2) and the modes supported by your external monitor. If you are seeing the splash at shutdown but only see the No signal error during startup, followed briefly by the mountall message and then X, there are a couple of different possibilities. - the nouveaufb kernel driver may be using the preconfigured resolution passed to it by grub. If so, this is arguably a bug in the kernel driver; it should instead be probing with EDID to find a resolution supported by the external monitor. - the kernel driver may be fine, but plymouth is starting so late that it doesn't matter because you never see it on startup (bug #540801). Please try the following and report back the results: - run 'echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/framebuffer sudo update-initramfs -u', then reboot. If you then see the plymouth splash on startup, this confirms that you're seeing bug #540801. - boot with plymouth:debug=file:/var/log/plymouth-debug.log added to your kernel commandline and attach the resulting log file to this bug. - check the configuration used in X with 'xrandr', and configure grub to use the same mode by setting GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850895 Title: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/850895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)
Just tried the third and last suggestion. Still nothing. Looking back at what was posted on my AskUbuntu question, I'm going to try setting GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and see if I can at least get grub to display. If that works, then from there I'll take a look at vbeinfo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850895 Title: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/850895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

From the plymouth debug log: [./plugin.c] initialize_head:initializing 2048x1536 head Those sure don't look like the dimensions we want. So this may be a bug with the resolution being handed off from grub, or it may be a bug in the nouveau framebuffer driver itself. Another option you can try is to boot with the option 'plymouth:force- drm', which will cause plymouth to use the drm backend instead of the framebuffer backend. Note that this is not safe when running the system with dual monitors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850895 Title: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/850895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 850895] Re: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages)
Okay, I've altered the following lines in my /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash plymouth:debug=file:/var/log /plymouth-debug.log plymouth:force-drm GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 (I only use one monitor in my setup, btw, so I figured that option would be safe to add.) And lo and behold, it works! This is the first time I've seen my grub menu and Plymouth during boot in quite a long time, albeit in a low resolution. It's even centered onscreen, too! I guess this means I can finally boot my Natty partition again (although Oneiric's quite nice and I plan on sticking with that). Please let me know if there's anything else you want me to do yet to help get this bug actually fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850895 Title: [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown (mountall error messages) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/850895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, it's not because I have the same problem despite I use burg as boot manager (which works well). Even with a working Grub 2 before it didn't show up.
