>From the logs and configuration, this appears to be an issue with uvesafb and the nvidia driver not playing nicely on your system (or maybe just uvesafb not playing nicely on its own). Since as you've mentioned on IRC you also don't get any console output either, this is not a plymouth problem per se (but thank you for filing it here nevertheless, as that gives us useful data to work with).
I'm reassigning to linux+nvidia-graphics-drivers; I think the bug is probably on the uvesafb side but can't be sure. A few things that you might try: - set GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console (or GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=ofconsole) in /etc/default/grub - set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text in /etc/default/grub - set both at the same time - pass video=efifb instead of video=uvesafb (may not work anyway because CONFIG_FB_EFI is set to 'y' in the kernel config, not to 'm'...?) ** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873475 Title: (nvidia/oneiric, macbook pro) No graphical plymouth shown during boot or shutdown with uvesafb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/873475/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
