Ubuntu – Text Ubuntu logo on boot

14.10bootplymouth

I recently updated my graphics card and drivers on my machine, however, after the successful upgrade, I found that the traditional Ubuntu logo had been replaced with a text logo in a console-like serif font. This also coincided with a change in the screen resolution.

I am hoping that somebody may be able to tell me how to reverse this change.

This is the result of update-alternatives –config default.plymouth:

  Selection    Path                                                           Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth           100       auto mode
  1            /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo-scale-2.plymouth   99        manual mode
  2            /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth           100       manual mode

Thanks for any help.

Either the graphics drivers failed to load at boot, or nomodeset has been enabled, making the kernel not load the graphics card drivers. Check your boot settings.
