Bug Description
Hi,
I've seen this happen on 3 different machines with 3 different NVidia graphics cards, so I confirm this immediately.
Somewhere during the updates between Quantal Beta 1 and Beta 2, plymouth graphics boot got broken for all machines with NVidia cards, using proprietary NVidia drivers.
As of today 2012/10/15, this is not fixed and these machines boot in text mode until the GUI starts.

This is not a bug in plymouth. The package for the nvidia binary drivers has blacklisted the framebuffers, without which plymouth can't work.
