@40: Which framebuffer you use? After the update to lucid beta2 vga16fb was set per default. (nvidia driver 195.36.15) But vga16fb only support low resolutions with 16 colors.
So, I switched over to uvesafb. My kernel start line looks like this: linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=xxxx-xxx-xxxxx ro video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-32 quiet splash Now I see the splash screen with the fix from the second comment. The default ubuntu splash screen is boring - so I installed the "solar" theme, but every-time plymouth is updated the solar theme is replaced my the default ubuntu theme. (I hope that the solar splash screen stays when I removed the default ubuntu splash screen package.) -- X server starts before Plymouth, or a very short time after (no or brief splash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540801 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
