All,
After reading numerous posts on the "ugly purple screen", my fix was the
following.
1) purge all existing nvidia packages (sudo apt-get purge 'nvidia*')
2) blacklist the free and old proprietary drivers
(http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=167422)
3) install the proprietary driver from the nvidia website (ppa repository
didn't have nvidia-glx-195)
4) Edit /etc/default/grub
a) Add/update GRUB_GFXMODE to the physical screen resolution,
GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900
b) Add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1440x900
5) sudo update-grub2
6) echo "FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee
6) sudo update-initramfs -u
4b was the crucial step. Once I added this to /etc/default/grub,
default.plymouth worked.
