Bug Description
Since upgrading from Lucid to Maverick the graphical boot screen is gone. I now only get the textual boot screen (text theme of plymouth). I'm not talking about the verbose textual (ASCII) boot process. The boot command line contains "quiet splash".
The graphics card is a GeForce 6800 Go. I am and have been using the binary/proprietary NVIDIA driver in both Ubuntu versions.
If this is related to Maverick now using KMS (kernel mode settings) then please explain how I get a beautiful boot screen when using the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
In Lucid the boot screen looked like this:

Now it looks like this (except the text of course, which is "Ubuntu 10.10"):

Many thanks!

I can confirm this bug: no graphical plymouth after upgrading to maverick.
I am using proprietary NVIDIA driver too.
My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS, on a Dell XPS M1330 laptop.
