No plymouth splash screen?

[drazgo]

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a new laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 5470HD graphics card in it and installed ubuntu. Everything works just fine, but at the startup, no plymouth splash screen comes up, just a black screen with a white dash...

Does anybody know how to fix this so i can get some eyecandy? :)

Thanks in advance!

check that "splash" is loaded by the boot line

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo dpkg-reconfigure plymouth

Just tried, still not working :? The plymouth splash on shutdown works though... Any other ideas?
