Got same problem too.. need help

Fix plymouth, open terminal

sudo nano /etc/default/grub Add the lines below


press > Ctrl+x and
y to save

Now run the command bellow and reboot

sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub

best regards

Here is my grub config:
# Written by com.deepin.daemon.Grub2
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub/themes/deepin/background.png"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
GRUB_DEFAULT="0"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="`/usr/bin/lsb_release -d -s 2>/dev/null || echo Deepin`"
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080"
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/deepin/theme.txt"
GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"
GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND="vbe"

Is there something suspicious?

You have a problem? Maybe it's the high resolution, try this, reboot, in GRUB press C, and run vbeinfo, check a good resolution supported for you, and  change GRUB_GFXMODE  in your GRUB config

You can try this before, maybe solve the problem with your resolution  sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash add this: echo FRAMEBUFFER=y press > Ctrl+x and y to save and run: sudo update-initramfs -u sudo update-grub sudo reboot  

One of the problems I'm trying to solve too, its not resolution related, it appears that Nvidia Propietary Driver overwrites the logo when installed, I don't even get Nvidia Splash animation, but resolution is the same as my tv... Tried to put Nvidia Logo, no luck, tried with Deepin one, no luck, tried putting an start personalized logo using Nvidia and Xorg config, no luck.

I'll continue cheking, greetings.

try this:
sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo

Has there been any progress on this issue ? I really miss the beautiful Deepin loading animation..

This:

Try a few of the available resolutions sudo hwinfo --framebuffer  outputs.

After applying Gourji's plymouth resolution fix script, I have black screen on boot, which is better than ugly nvidia grey screen with stupid dots.
On shutdown and restart, the animation is displayed properly.
Any idea what to do to bring the deepin animation back on boot?

https://bbs.deepin.org/post/145021# I've put a post about that some time ago. Anyways, in Arch based distros, the "Nvidia" versions of their distros simply delete Plymouth as it always gives problems with Nvidia propietary drivers.

Did what you suggested, still no animation before login, just black screen.
Shutdown animation is working fine.
Any clues how to fix it?

Hello,
how many of the resolutions hwinfo --framebuffer outputs have you tried?
Because for many of them doen't work for me.
But there are a few that fix the problem.
And i'm talking about this solution:
https://bbs.deepin.org/post/145021#

Yes, Im talking about your solution, which is basically the same as Gourji's, the difference is, he put it all in one script.
My framebuffer output:

So far tried the 1920x1080 only. Will try the rest.
And one more thing...
Is the line really supposed to be hashed? I think once you hash it, it will not work.
"Then: sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
Add this to the end of document: #uvesafb mode_option=0000x000-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap (replace 0s with your resolution)."

1920x1080 doen't work for me either.
But if i remember well 1280x1024 with a 24 bit color depth worked fine.
And about your question, imust say that i had the same question.
So i used it bothways.
As it seems, the hashtag is required.

Strange...adding this hashtag brings back 3 dots on grey screen before login.
Testing other resolutions...will report if I find something.

OK, things are getting even weirder...
Although my boot config is clearly set to 1024x768x24 bits as you can see below...

/etc/default/grub
# Written by com.deepin.daemon.Grub2
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub/themes/deepin/background.png"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
GRUB_DEFAULT="0"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="`/usr/bin/lsb_release -d -s 2>/dev/null || echo Deepin`"
GRUB_GFXMODE="1024x768x24"
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/deepin/theme.txt"
GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"

/etc/initramfs-tools/modules

# List of modules that you want to include in your initramfs.
# They will be loaded at boot time in the order below.
#
# Syntax:  module_name [args ...]
#
# You must run update-initramfs(8) to effect this change.
#
# Examples:
#
# raid1
# sd_mod
uvesafb mode_option=1024x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

...and of course grub and initramfs get updated with...
sudo update-grub2 && sudo update-initramfs -u

...WHY is my shutdown animation still displayed in 1920x1080?
What am I still missing here?
