After installing latest nvidia drivers from xorg edgers ppa, the boot screen ( where it shows ubuntu logo) displays background process as text.

Is there any way to restore the default boot screen using nvidia driver.

(Note: It changes back to default logo and resolution once I change back to nouveau driver)

Actually the mistake is on my part, I didn't follow the steps correctly.hwinfo method is not working, however the next one works.

  1. While booting the system, press shift to enter into the grub and press c to enter into the console
  2. type videoinfo
  3. Note down the best supported resolution eg. 1024x768x32
  4. Now press esc and boot normally.login and go the terminal.
  5. Enter sudo gedit /etc/default/grub .
  6. A text file will open. Search for the line #GRUB_GFXMODE=
  7. Replace #GRUB_GFXMODE= with

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Save the text file. Enter the following commands

echo "FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash sudo update-initramfs -u -k all sudo update-grub

Thats it. Now restart the system.

I have one query though. Why is the supported resoulution is much less that tmy screen resolution. In my case max resolution is 1600x1200x32, where as my screen resolution is 1920x1080 though it is better then the default 640x480
