does anybody know if it's possible to customise the Plymouth graphics, I quite fancy giving it a stab and ending up with something a bit more impressive than 'dots'.

I had related problems - the graphics on the Plymouth graphical loader screen were corrupted. Also my Thinkpad would not wake from sleep or hibernation. The instructions I posted elsewhere might be helpful for you... My issues weren't exactly the same, but similar. To resolve the sleep issue, I added "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters. This enabled the machine to suspend and resume correctly, including hibernation. Unlike 10.04, in 10.10 the X server starts normally in 1024×768/16M colours and the machine is perfectly usable. I amended the following line by adding "nomodeset" to the end in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" I then ran update-grub to enable the change. However, the nomodeset line means that the plymouth graphical loading screen no longer works. It is replaced with a text-based one. In the hope of at least running in the native resolution of the LCD and getting a smoother text loading screen, I added a vga mode parameter to the same line, as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset vga=792" This not only worked and reset the console resolution to 1024×768, but it also re-enabled the graphical loading screen, which furthermore now appeared with the correct colour palette, removing the coloured fringes that had affected the default install. I then dropped the X screen from 16M colours to 65K colours, which gives a sharp increase in display performance & enables me to use dual-head with an external monitor running at 1280×1024. I have documented how I did this in a blog post here: http://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/20637.html I then amended the GRUB line so that the bootup screen mode was the same as the X one: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset vga=791" The result is that everything now works: graphical startup & shutdown, suspend & resume, hibernation, and a fast X display which supports dual-head operation. -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I think the idea is that it is much faster, if less configurable. Like the new GDM since 10.04. Regards, Tyler On Sat, 2010-11-13 at 00:50 +, Craig Peden wrote: > Everyone has it.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Loosy splah screen after update to 10.10
Everyone has it. It is the newer graphical boot/shutdown stuff that I think it generated by Plymouth as opposed to the xsplash you will have been used to. You could install xsplash. - Craig On 12 Nov 2010, at 22:36, Pallottini Aymeric wrote: I have got an Acer Revo, that I have updated from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.

[ubuntu-uk] Loosy splah screen after update to 10.10
I have got an Acer Revo, that I have updated from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. After the update the splash screen is not the usual graphic one, it is a simple bit of text displaying "ubuntu 10.10 and some dots, with even some of the events of the boot process being displayed. The same when shutting down the machine. Is somebody experiencing this also? Can I get back the nice splash screen?
