Hi, everyone.
Just installed Mint KDE 10 and after the NVidia drivers which I installed through the system notifications, the booting screen has lost the Mint logo and the little dots becoming blue as the system boots. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
many thanks.

This is a well known problem when using the nonfree VC-drivers.

Many thanks, Leit, but this doesn't apply to KDE (at least I don't know how to do it).
It's a setting only in Gnome.

WOW! Clem's article fixed the issue for me on Mint 10 Gnome! (I thought I was stuck with that ugly bootscreen after installing NVidia drivers.
)
Thanks Leit!

Thanks Leit!

Open Kickoff and type "startup" then it should appear and you should be able to solve the problem.
@Bob E: no problem
greetings, Leit

Many thanks, Leit.
I was trying to find that, but I couldn't find it in System Settings. I'll try it and get back to you.
