Hi all
A little background - my machine has nVidia GT 230M so plymouth never really worked with nVidia's binary driver. i remember going great lengths (but don't actually recall which exactly) to disable that ugly blinking "Kubuntu 11.04...." thing and replace it with console output. I never used nouveau because it deadlocks my GPU within minutes after booting.
Now i discovered the nouveau "noaccel" option and surprisingly no deadlocks and no performance penalty whatsoever (maybe i don't use anything involving acceleration, desktop looks the same as it did with nVidia binary driver - including all compositing, fancy KWin effects etc.). So i decided to get the splash screen back. Unfortunately, i am not able to, and as i already said earlier, i don't recall what is it that i did to remove it.
I tried reinstalling plymouth packages. I checked upstart entries. My kernel boots with "ro quiet splash" (i'm using BURG). Is there any other place i can look?
