I'm looking for the way to get rid off the black screen during boot and replace it with complete boot animation.

this is my grub file:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash modeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_enforce_resources=lax"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

I tried removing # before #GRUB_TERMINAL=console it does the trick but altogether with the boot animation it becomes default 14.04 pink with dots animation. And I'm using Solar boot animation. When I put # back, boot animation appears again though it always lasts for 5 sec and the login screen pops up then.

I use only Nvidia video drivers installed (manually). Nouveau is blacklisted.

What suggestions or solutions could I apply to fix this somehow if possible?

After googling for a while I managed to come to solution in a simple way. It won't remove black screen completely but now it only lasts for 2-3 secs and smoothly jumps to boot screen and you can enjoy your boot animation. To solve this I created splash file:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

then type and save inside the file:

FRAMEBUFFER=y

choose and update your default.plymouth

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

sudo update-initramfs -u

sudo reboot

Done. Now it should look good and normal.
