Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
Hello,
I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, with proprietary drivers, and I am using Ubuntu Natty.
Since I updated to Natty (it was the Beta 2 version), plymouth only shows a purple screen, without logo and without dots. It's simply purple.
Note that, before updating, I had already solved the issue which made plymouth show the Ubuntu logo textual theme instead of the graphic one with proprietary drivers on Nvidia cards, so I don't think it's related (unless some of the files I modified were reset during the update, I don't know). This time, however, I don't even get the "default" text theme.
