Bug Description
On my Latitude E6420 running Kubuntu 12.10 (64-bit) with all updates, there is no splash screen. Instead, I just see text. This laptop has Nvidia graphics, though Optimus is disabled so that is not the issue.

The plymouth splash doesn't display because according to the information attached to your bug report, it has no framebuffer to display it on. This is a direct result of a recent change to the nvidia- graphics- drivers package. Reassigning.
