My gawd the boot splash is so ugly after installing the Nvidia drivers. The font's are huge and ugly on start-up and shut-down. Can anything be done to fix this ugly?

From what I understand this is a plymouth issue in which the resolution gets messed up after installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers. Looking for a fix now! I actually think plymouth is ugly and am looking for a way to disable it and just text-mode boot.
Here is one way I've found to fix it, but I'll wait till someone more knowledgeable chimes in before I try it.

This is what I always have to do due to that problem. Go to the grub file located in (/etc/default/). Edit the line that has (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash") and change it to (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet vga=792 splash"). I do also change the GRUB_GFXMODE setting to 1024x768. You have to edit that file as root. Once done, go to the konsole and run (sudo update-grub2). Information about VGA setting for the linux cmd line settings is abundant but I do believe if you search here there is some information too.

Does this file not exist for 12.10? I got as response:
Code:kd-config-grub2 kann nicht gefunden werden

I keep fighting for an independent Scotland without any nuclear weapons. If the Englanders want them, they can host them. We do not.

Yes, thank you. How stupid of me, not to have stumbled over this myself.Greetings from Scotland's best holiday island – The Isle of Arran
