Hi there! I could install nvidia driver 331 with: Code (Text): sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 sudo reboot But now the lovely elementaryos-logo while booting has disappeared! How to recover that? Btw: I'm running elementaryOS 0.3 Freya (Ubuntu 14.04), the Open Beta. Xray7
Hello Xray I'm using eOS freya beta too, had the same issue. You have to edit your /etc/default/grub simply like this (for this example wee are using "nano", an easy-to-use editor): Code (Text): sudo nano /etc/default/grub #change the following line Code (Text): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" #to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" #and add this new line: Code (Text): GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 #Save the file and update grub, then reboot Code (Text): sudo update-grub sudo reboot Does it work for you?
strange. this does not fix my problem. still no boot screen. changing GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 to GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto does make the splash appear again. Weird as my resolution is 1920x1080. It still shows some text before the splash however.
