Apologies if it is improper to comment here... just wanted to mention that I was also affected by this bug. I worked around it by editing the /etc/usplash.conf file (as directed by the Debugging Usplash wiki link above) and changing the resolution from the default (1920x1080, which is the correct native rez of my current monitor) to 1024x768.
After making this edit and running 'sudo-updateinitramfs' as directed by the config file comments, I am able to successfully display logo from the command line via 'sudo usplash'. I re-enabled splash in grub config & ran update-grub; my system now boots successfully with splash screen enabled. Perhaps there is some problem with the default 1920x1080 widescreen resolution when running usplash. 1024x768 standard 4:3 resolution works, I did not try any other resolution. Hoping this will be helpful to others affected by this bug... -- usplash hangs with kernel Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.46-generic, works with 2.6.31-13 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451571 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
