I actually don't see the grub menu, since I have only Ubuntu 11.04 installed. After the BIOS screen, I only get a brief black screen (with the usual "flashing underscore", I don't know how it's called), then the completely purple screen described here.
Another thing: I have a similar problem on my netbook, which has an Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3150. The behaviour is almost the same, but after the purple screen (which stays like that most of the time) the logo appears for a little while before the boot sequence is completed. Looks like plymouth shows the logo late for some reason. When I turn off the pc, the logo always appears as expected on the netbook, while it appears only sometimes on my laptop (which mounts a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS with proprietary drivers). On the laptop it usually has a couple of issues: the logo appears, but the dots do not; also, the bottom part of the screen is black and messages showing the status of the "switch off sequence" appear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771905 Title: No logo at boot on nvidia card -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
