Black screen without boot logo using latest Plymouth and nvidia

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Binary package hint: plymouth

This bug comes from bug #535108, as requested by Steve Langasek.

After upgrading to plymouth 0.8.1-1, the situation is the following: now I can't see any graphical or text boot logo, so I can't see the "Ubuntu 10.04" label nor the "for dots" colored progress bar during boot. I only see a black screen during computer startup with three informational and error messages, until GDM starts.

However, I can see a graphical logo during computer restart.

I'm using an nVidia graphics card and the nvidia propietary driver.

Shutting down and restarting the computer does effectively shows a white graphical Ubuntu logo.

I forgot to say that I'm using plymouth 0.8.1-1.

Great: after installing latest updates, now I can see the graphical boot logo with the new artwork and five-dots progress bar. I'll mark this bug as invalid because it seems to be fixed. Thanks!
