If i think also that bring a login prompt so soon in the boot process could be confusing and problematic, and i don't think it's related to my problem (or i understand nothing).
My problem was simply that with the last usplash, i have to jump manually to the gui with alt-ctrl-F7. When i remove the splash option it works. If i downgrade usplash, it also works. So my guess of that facts is that the new usplash don't play nice with upstart at least for me. graphic card : intel 855 -- ttys started by upstart not visible when usplash ran https://launchpad.net/bugs/59132 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
