"usplash," I deduce, refers to the process that triggered the issue, and I think this is the wrong thread for this issue.
for the benefit if anyone who finds their way here with the same issue as myself, the tactical fix to my problem appears to be to remove the pretty boot up sequence (and configure the console for my screen resolution) - removing the references to 'quiet' and 'splash' and replacing with, say, vga=0x307 about /boot/grub/menu.lst changes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542082 about vga=: http://tinyurl.com/5ff36 this doesn't fix the underlying issue, whether in usplash or elsewhere. -- general protection fault: 0000 during resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328440 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
