I use Nvidia driver 346 and I have followed the instructions of this link How to fix plymouth (splash screen) in all Ubuntu releases! But I've only managed to show the boot splash screen but not the shutdown's as you can see in this video.

I guess it's probably due to that there is no D-sub socket on the video card and I have to use the HDVI to D-sub adaptor which made Ubuntu unable to detect it. Please help me with the issue. Thanks in advance. This is what I did:

sudo apt-get install v86d
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep    
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub2

There is boot-up splash screen, but no shut-down splash. How can I make shut-down splash work?

Config:

  • Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit
  • Motherboard Gigabyte G1-sniper H6
  • CPU intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz × 8
  • Video Card Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 without D-sub
  • DVI to D-sub adaptor
  • Display LG E2242C LCD with only a D-sub socket

grub.conf:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

sudo apt-get install v86d
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Replace the matching content with:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24, mtrr=3, scroll=ywrap"
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Then:

gksudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

add this:

uvesafb mode_option=1024x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists and execute:

echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub2

restore your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

  • @A.B.: I have X11-forwarding on... I tend to forget that normal people have to use gksudo! Thanks! And next time: feel free to edit it yourself! You can do that you know! It'll give you extra reputation! ;-)
