Ubuntu - Fix splash screen with proprietary drivers

gistfile1.txt

This is soultion how to fix no splash screen in Ubuntu after nvidia proprietary driver installation. It's no matter what Ubuntu version you use, it should work anyway.

Open your terminal and type

  sudo apt-get install v86d

Then

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  Find this line

  #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
  and chagne for this one (of course choose your resolution)

  GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900x24
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
  Save file and type in terminal

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

It's worked for me in all Ubuntu versions.
Give it a try :)
