The issue here is not necessarily that the display method used by plymouth is incompatible with proprietary drivers. I would say the issue is that the developers made an unnecessary switch to this display method knowing full well that the proprietary drivers didn't support it yet.
I'm with everybody else who says that although this problem obviously doesn't break anything, it certainly doesn't make ubuntu look like a professional, polished product. Seriously though, even Microsoft has this part of their OS right, and they can't even figure out how to make an application menu that's not riddled with bugs. I love showing off linux to all my friends, but quite frankly if I catch them looking over my shoulder as ubuntu is booting up, I feel embarrassed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 Title: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
