Is there a specific log file for plymouth which I could show you here? It might point us to the source of the problem, as I am unable to quote the error message exactly.
To be sure, the system I faced this issue on has an NVIDIA GT435M graphics card. It's a Dell XPS 15 laptop (Core i7 740 QM, 6 GB DDR3 RAM) running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 64bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793128 Title: Plymouth splash screen does not load up; vesa fb device error message displayed instead To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/793128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
