This bug also affects me. I had the Alpha installed, which booted correctly without the Fglrx driver installed. When the RC came out, I did a clean install over it and it failed to show the boot screen correctly, except for a quick flash at the very end of the boot sequence just before GNOME

Another note, If I install cryptsetup my screen refresh rate seems to be affected once I login into gnome desktop... It is too low (refresh seems to happen in steps). I am guessing that a different driver is being used now (VESA instead of ati? I don't know how to check this.) one thing I have

No, plymouth does not depend on cryptsetup. I wasn't suggesting its installation as a solution, I was asking whether it was installed to rule it out as a cause for your current problem. :) Do you have the fglrx binary driver package installed? Do you see the expected splash on shutdown? --

I installed fglrx a while back (at the time of reporting this bug it was already installed), I removed it now to see if it makes a difference. Here is a summary of the effects of different combinations: fglrx + cryptsetup + vga=795 = proper boot splash, then gdm starts, slow refresh rate from

Does the fact that the screen has a native resolution of 1920x1080 (full HD) have anything to do with any of these symptoms seen? I removed xserver-xorg-video-ati and I suppose that forces the use of a mesa/vesa driver (I can't keep xserver-xorg-video-ati and remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon. I

No, installing the theme packages is enough to make them available to plymouth, and one will be autoselected if no other configuration choice is made. So in *all* of these cases, you saw an aubergine screen with artifacts at the top of the screen and no animation? -- plymouth: blank/unanimated

Well, I don't know how you had aubergine on your screen without the theme packages installed, because the aubergine /comes from/ the Ubuntu plymouth theme packages. Do you have the cryptsetup package installed? Is it possible that you're booting into an old kernel which has an old plymouth in
