Or disabled the boot theme and/or splash screen altogether as also suggested by Chris??Huckleberry wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:06 amBut, have you tried another theme as suggested by Chris? Also agree with the Ribbon theme.
In fact I removed plymouth on both laptops, but before that, the Nvidia one was working flawlessly with splash..

I normally use the same legacy-driver with another card(GeForce 8400M), but since buster I stick with nouveau.
It's not clear to me what the problem is, the driver installs without errors, it builds fine against the kernel, but

Re: Boot: remove Nvidia logo and disable Plymouth
I've tried some of them.
No chance apparently.

Re: Boot: remove Nvidia logo and disable Plymouth
Perhaps someone who knows how to purge the nvidia driver and reinstall nouveau will be along soon and can tell you how.
It would be nice if this ability could be added to the nvidia installer script, /usr/local/bin/ddm-mx. Then if someone installs ndivia drivers and gets the black screen of death after rebooting they could boot from their live USB, delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reboot in vesa graphics mode, run the script, and go back to using nouveau.

Re: Boot: remove Nvidia logo and disable Plymouth
OK, I got the legacy-driver running properly on MX19 and antiX19 buster
It was loading the wrong glx-module, from /var/log/Xorg.log
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so instead the one from nvidia
What I did is renamed the libglx.so
and symlinked the one from nvidia to libglx.so
Looks good to me now, no errors in Xorg.log
glxgears runs fine.
Is this a problem of the nvidia-driver, or buster or who ?

Re: Boot: remove Nvidia logo and disable Plymouth
Seems to be a Debian bug, but am happy to see you've discovered the fix!
It was also asked if ddm-mx had an option to remove the nvidia driver, and it does:
but I have to say IDK if that also works with the legacy drivers.

Very, VERY good work! I was having the same issue with the 340 driver on my system and your solution fixed it for me!caprea wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 6:43 pm OK, I got the legacy-driver running properly on MX19 and antiX19 buster

Re: Boot: remove Nvidia logo and disable Plymouth
By the way, the three grey rectangles during boot are also from the Nvidia 340 driver and somehow override MX's boot theme and splash screen. i played with those settings in MX Boot Options but nothing I tried got rid of the grey boxes or returned the nice-looking encryption passphrase entry field (it's now just a text prompt.) So it seems that the only way to get rid of the boxes and splash screen is to purge your Nvidia driver as per Stevo's instructions and go back to using Nouveau, or else get a newer Nvidia video card (or a computer with a newer onboard Nvidia GPU) that's supported by newer drivers.
