Depuis 1 an maintenant Canonical à intégré Plymouth dans Ubuntu, qui permet d’avoir un joli boot logon.
Mais cela fait aussi 1 an qu’ils sont INCAPABLE de produire un petit hack ou une petite mise à jour pour pouvoir éviter le gros problème … lorsqu’on à des drivers proprios, on perd la résolution du Plymouth … Ce qui est plutôt gênant, surtout lorsqu’on à un écran 24″ … et avoir son Plymouth en 640×480 … C’est super moche !!

[EDIT]
Suite à un bug avec mon script, j’ai récupéré un autre script fonctionnel a 100%
Désolé aux personnes ayant eu des bugs. Vous pouvez appliquer celui-ci sans problème !!

Téléchargez et exécutez le script
