No Plymouth Boot screen after upgrade to 11.04

[timgood]

Following upgrade, I get no bootscreen on startup, just a black screen. On shutdown, I get the regular Plymouth screen.

Using NVidia proprietary drivers. Any idea on how I can get Plymouth back to normal?

I'm also seeing this. There was a workaround for 10.10, but I'm not at all sure that it still works. I also thought that it had been fixed before Natty was released, see:

However, I still have an ugly boot sequence!

I am also facing the same problem

I alos did the upgrade, now when I try to boot up it just says

plymouth main process (53) killed by segv signal.

and below that it reads

plymouth-splash main process (175) terminated with status 2.

what the fudge batman?

Apart from the above problem.
My PC is taking 10-15 secs for logging in.
Are you guys also facing similar problem ?

The boot screen is black and a little slow to get to login in. When I shutdown I get Plymouth not mounted. It also shows root logged in.

I was having a black screen, and then a flash of plymouth at the end of the startup.

Fixed it doing:

sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u

But may be your problem is different since you don't see plymouth at all.

Indeed - I have tried this and also all the online solutions for fixing ugly boot. But I have a brief flash of purple and then a black screen, nothing more. Funny that shutdown seems to work OK.

I'm also experiencing some problems with random freezing of the Launcher and System Tray which is fixed by a restart. Conky works OK though. Weird. I might bite the bullet and go for a complete new install and see if that changes anything.

I solved the problem in my case using the "StartUp-Manager" application i found in the "Software Center". First i suggest to undo all the stuff done with this

http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-10-10-...p-and-shutdown

Then find your current resolution and color-depth (in my case 1024x768 - 24bit). Open "StartUp-Manager" and set in "Boot options" the right resolution and color depth. Select the option "Show boot splash" and deselect "Show text during boot". Under "Arvanced" I have the setting 640x480 for the Bootloader. However this option seems to be not-working in my case. To get a 640x480 boot-loader screen i have to uncomment the line

GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

In the preceeding guide.



P.S. My Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 was blacklisted for using Unity interface. In solved this problem following this

P.P.S. Sorry for my bad english-speaking!

Many thanks for this! Worked for me.
