Bit confusing this. I reversed the changes to the system. Then double checked /etc/default/grub.
This line was commented out, I must have done this I guess at some time. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" However I was seeing a plain aubergine background for 20 secs then text very briefly then the login. I've uncommented the line. Updated grub and now I get this. Plain aubergine background as previous then a very brief Logo and dots. Then login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771905 Title: No logo at boot on nvidia card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plymouth/+bug/771905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
