Here's a workaround that solved the problem for me:
1) enable framebuffer mode:
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u
2) add this line to /etc/default/grub (The resolution has to be
supported by BIOS. To check, execute vbeinfo at grub2
I really hope this gets an official fix as this is an LTS release.
The longer Ubuntu leaves this unsolved users will be left to
find their own methods and means, which could result in
more problems should an official fix ever be released.

I'm also affected on NVidia GeForce Go 6100 using a proprietary driver
from repos. I haven't tried any workarounds yet because I am faithfully
expecting a fix released soon. The extra 6 seconds of boot time is not a
problem for me because due to another bug in Karmic my boot process used

* what testing was done before transitioning to 'plymouth' for lucid was green
lighted for an LTS of all things
* why did Canonical not investigate the true number of users affected
* do we expect this to be resolved for lucid
* if not, what do we need to do to prove there is community interest
I reverted the duplicate status change which I previously made. This bug
may be related to Bug #553854.

Yes, I've come across the solution proposed in this blog too; but I
really don't like adding 6 seconds to the boot up time. As I said
before, the boot sequence is only on for a couple of seconds; I really
don't see the point of making a longer boot in order to make the boot
experience look good
@Jeff Sereno
Given that Lucid's total boot times have decreased to 9-15 seconds on the
average modern system, that the splash screen is only on screen for a fraction
of this time, and that the end-user will ultimately spend more time indulging
the eye-candy of the desktop, I think this is a
Solution to this problem seems to be to uninstall the ATI driver. It not
only resolves the problem with the plymouth logo, but also means the

@Jeff Sereno
It's more than an appearance problem, at least on my system. The ATI driver
kept corrupting the boot loader itself, so I couldn't reboot more than a couple
of times before it failed and I needed to reinstall.
As I said, uninstalling it fixed the image appearance and the memory
@silicon.shaman By disabling the proprietary graphics driver, you're
avoiding this bug, not solving it. According to its duplicates, this bug
applies to proprietary graphics drivers in general, not just ATI.

Unless the corruption problem occurs to everyone who is experiencing the
resolution problem, I would categorize that as a separate bug.

Perso, my ATI graphics driver has lousy performance with the open source
driver. People who have graphics cards want to be able to use them.
Reverting to a lower quality driver to enjoy a boot splash that lasts
only a few seconds, thereby suffering a mediocre desktop experience
seems completely
I have the same problem with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS. Using the
startupmanager app to set resolution only makes things worse, leaving me
with an unreadable garbled boot screen. Startupmanager does not work for

This problem occurred for me, but I found a very good solution which I

proprietary graphics drivers are enabled and reverted when proprietary
graphics are disabled. One of the steps involves choosing the ideal

Found a temporary fix, install the start up manager and use this to set
the correct resolution for your system. Makes Plymouth look a lot
better.

I pretty well agree with that last comment. The splash-screen is hardly
a critical issue - much better concentrate on making Lucid as reliable
as possible. Of course, IKT is right that such a thing wouldn't happen
with Apple. But that's because Apple works on a relatively restricted

This is one of the things I don't understand about ubuntu quality

While Scott has commented in the duplicate bug that the images are what

implication that 16-color images for VGA framebuffer also implied a
