    no graphic splash-screen before password prompt

    I use Kubuntu 13.04 and KDE 4.10.5 but the problem also occurs in 12.10.

    Code:
    plymouth-label
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
    ...are installed and /etc/default/grub looks also fine to me:

    Code:
    # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

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=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
    And update-alternatives --config default.plymouth says there is only one alternative and nothing to configurate.

    But all I get is a "Kubnuntu 13.04..."-text-screen before the password prompt. Any ideas?

    That's why I asked whether someone knows the solution.

      Are you using a proprietary nvidia graphics driver?
      I do not personally use Kubuntu, but I'm the tech support for my daughter who does.

          Well, I always encounter the same 'problem' after installing nvidia drivers on pretty much any ubuntu-based distro: Ubuntu 13.04, Linux Mint 15 XFCE, Kubuntu 13.04.

          Let's see, if Rog's post will help.

          //Edit:

          Okay, so I changed the parameter of 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' from 'quiet splash' to 'splash' and it didn't solve the issue...

            Have you tried adding the nomodeset option to your /etc/default/grub file?

            Code:
            GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
            Then update grub.

            Code:
            sudo update-grub

              Did it, I'll report back after my PC's next reboot.

              //Edit

              Didn't work. I'll look further into that.

                Hi, I fixed this on my system a short while ago.

                I'm running Kubuntu 13.10 64b with 2 x Nvidia 9800GT dual-head cards. So 3 screens at 1280x1024 each.

                I got tired of that text mode splash pretty quickly after installing the nvidia driver (319.60), so I edited these two lines in /etc/default/grub to read as:
                Code:
                GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=794"

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x16
                so now it looks like this:
                Code:
                # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

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 vga=794"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x16

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
                ran:
                Code:
                sudo update-grub
                and everything now looks great! I get the glowing Kubuntu text in graphics mode as a splash acreen prior to the login screen appearing and during shutdown too. I also have a nice large text-mode screen running at the correct resolution when I'm at the console.
