plymouth booting in text mode

[karl]

Plymouth is booting in text mode. When doing
sudo plymouthd
sudo plymouth --show-splash
splash is shown properly. I already purged and reinstalled plymouth and grub, but no success. Please tell me how I can provide further information if needed

greetings

In 12.10, graphical boot splash is not supported when using nvidia drivers, per request of nvidia upstream.
