I finally succeeded in getting the splash! I installed Startup-manager
Startup-manager shows a screen-resolution of 640*480 ??? The screen-resolution = 1280x1024 and was properly setup in File /etc/usplash.conf # Usplash configuration file # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs. xres=1280 yres=1024 So I changed the resolution to 1280x1024 After booting-up : no splash-screen! I changed the screen-resolution in startup-manager back to 640*480 After booting-up : THE SPLASHSCREEN! Startup-manager has changed /etc/usplash.conf # Usplash configuration file xres=640 yres=480 and menu.list # defoptions=quiet splash vga=769 title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic uuid 8e12d951-f72e-4d57-88e3-5cd5cf422771 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=UUID=8e12d951-f72e- 4d57-88e3-5cd5cf422771 ro quiet splash vga=769 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic quiet This is very weird! Why does the startup-manager gives my initially a screen-resolution of 640*480 although /etc/usplash.conf has been set up differently (by the installation-program?). Why does a setting 1280x1024 not work ? Anw why does a setting 640*480 work after I set a 1280*1024 ? To my opinion something is wrong in the installer-package, as /etc/usplash.conf should be set up to 640*480 in stead of 1280*1024 ? -- No splashscreen at boot/logoff https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
