Thanks for reporting this issue. I am unable to reproduce it, since I am unable to get a usplash screen in either Ubuntu or Xubuntu 8.10 using the vesa options at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#Setting_different_framebuffer_resolutions_in_GRUB . I tested this on two hardware systems.
Were you able to see the uspash while booting 8.10 with these options? I think this is a bug against "linux" if you can. ** Changed in: xubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- xubuntu usplash screen doesn't display when vesa console is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362185 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
