Plymouth and Nvidia privative driver problem

[arieleoar]

Hi everyone!

Months ago the pc started to show a creepy "Ubuntu" boot splash text (somefont like system font) instead the splash image

Before some research i made i've managed to realize that plymouth has a rare bug with nvidia privative driver that causes the missing for a graphical interface to show the splash image, then i found the fix in

(in the last answer)

but for some reason i was unable to fix because other problem
libhal1, libhd and hw... are deprecated for "trusty-tahr" version of ubuntu so there are unable to download and install

Then there is another way to fix it? i've tried plymouth-manager (no result) and the options "quiet splash" were in the grub config.

Hi again.

Before decide to break the pc i managed to fix the problem, so i post the solution here for someone else.

First I Downloaded Grub-Customizer:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt update
sudo apt install grub-customizer

then open it and in the "appearance customization" tab activate the checkbox "Customize Resolution" and set it to 1024x768 or another resolution that you see convenient
later open the "advanced options" (lower right button) and add a new entry with name = "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX" and value = "auto" then set active and close the dialog. Now hit the button "save" and exit the app.
In the next boot plymouth will work. If you want to personalize it download plymouth-manager.

Thanks for reading! regards!
