Description Felix Botner

No plymouth bootsplash animation on kvm machines (with Cirrus Logic GD 5446). Seems that the cirrusdrmfb driver has a problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1177772

As workround we could set the 'cirrus.modeset=0' kernel parameter.

Added etc/modprobe.d/ucc-cirrus.conf to univention-corporate-client to disbale modsetting for cirrus driver.

-> more /etc/modprobe.d/ucc-cirrus.conf
options cirrus modeset=0

With the current thin client image no bootsplash is displayed in a virtualised thin client.

This was an error in my setup: We initially needed to set ucc/pxe/bootsplash=false to disable the bootsplash. When this was fixed I only made a ucr unset, which doesn't enable the bootsplash.

With the correct setting (=true, which is also the default) is works fine.
