After I installed Ubuntu 14.04 as the only OS on my computer on nomodeset to install the Nvidia drivers for my video card. I installed it and all is working properly.
The only problem that I have is that when I turn on my compurter I only see command lines instead of the Ubuntu logo.
After that the login screen works in a proper way even with the GUI.
I only want to get the Ubuntu logo instead of the command lines.
PS: when I turn off my computer, the same thing is repeated.
In /etc/default folder there is grub file. Often settings in this file are used to alter boot options. In this case, particularly we're interested in this line : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= . To boot into console mode , there hast to be "text" written after equals sign, and in case you want gui boot , it would be "quiet splash" . To have ubuntu booting with startup messages displayed, it would be "splash". It appears that in your case you need to change splash to quiet splash
I'm booting with GUI enabled. Here's how those lines in my grub file look like:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Look at this file , and see what it says. (You could use this command just to view cat /etc/default/grub). Before editing, make a backup copy of the file, sudo cp grub grub.backup . To edit, use this command sudo nano /etc/default/grub. You didn't specify how much you are familiar with command line in your original question, so just in case you're not, nano is a command line text editor. When you're done editing, just press Ctrl+X, then Y, then enter. Run sudo update-grub . After that reboot, see what happens.

Please let me know if this helps. Also, other fellow ubuntu users, please post comments or suggested improvements to my answer
