Public bug reported: I had no splash during boot nor during shutdown in both Edgy live cd and installed system (no upgrade from Dapper) on my mac mini G4.
I found these workarounds: Setting usplash.conf resolution to 1280x1024 (default was 1024 x 768) gave me shutdown splash but still not boot splash. Running sudo dpkg- reconfigure usplash gave me also boot splash. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- no splash in Edgy for PPC https://launchpad.net/bugs/72489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
