I would like to see the Plymouth screen until the boot process has been completed. In my case the Plymouth screen disappears. After that I only see a dash which change color until the desktop starts. Is it posible to keep Plymouth running until the end?

Using Ununtu 16.04

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

best regards

  • Are you using proprietary video drivers? – Pilot6 Sep 20 '17 at 10:09
  • Does the greeter resolution match the boot resolution? This sounds like the Dm changing screen modes (ie boot has ended ans desktop is starting) – ravery Sep 20 '17 at 10:10

    @mondjunge -- I think he is asking why there is a black screen between plymouth and his greeter showing. Not that he has no plymouth. – ravery Sep 20 '17 at 10:14
  • @ Pilot6 I am using proprietary video drivers (NVIDIA) – JBartolome Sep 20 '17 at 13:01
  • @modjunge I will try to follow 362722 and report what happens. Thanks – JBartolome Sep 20 '17 at 13:02
  • @ravery correct. Could be related, though. If would know the definite answer, I would give an answer, not a comment. ;) – mondjunge Sep 20 '17 at 14:50

362722 Solves the question. After showing the Ubuntu logo with 5 points underneath, the system shows only the points with another background. This changes to a black screen. About 15 sec later I see the mouse. About 20 sec later the desktop screen appears. I am using a quite old laptop with a Intel duo 2.80 Ghz which explains partially the wait time Thanks again
