    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.

    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.
