[ubuntu_studio] Plymouth with nVidia UbuntuStudio 16.10

***********Please note that the version is 16.04 and NOT 16.10 as mentioned - Thanks howefield for the correction ****************

Hi, I recently upgraded my US 14.04 to US 16.04 (32 bit) and now I have Plymouth woes once again - Plymouth screen was working fine in 14.04.

Here are some background details;

• Currently Plymouth screen shows up with rotating Ubuntu Studio icon with the Ubuntu Studio logo text underneath.
• After a few seconds the screen blacks out
• Now only the spinning icon is visible and the Ubuntu Studio logo is no longer visible.
• After a few more seconds system boots normally.

I have /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash file with FRAMEBUFFER set to 'y'. and have the following two included in my /etc/default/grub

GRUB_GFXMODE=1400x1050-16
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Since it appears that the problem may be caused by incorrect hand off, I booted the system without the $vt_handoff command in grub by editing the grub entry at boot time. This throws up some uvesafb errors which flashes across the screen and difficult to write down.

I am running nVidia 304 driver.

I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

EDIT: Yes, did try the fixplymouth script without success.
