I found a workaround that may "fix" the usplash issue: 1) Run this command to show available splash resolutions:
strings /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so | grep -i usplash_theme Mine shows: usplash_theme usplash_theme_800_600 usplash_theme_1024_768 usplash_theme_1365_768_scaled 2) Select the desired resolution and change /etc/usplash.conf accordingly (the original one was 640x480, which is not listed above): # Usplash configuration file xres=1024 yres=768 3) Run this command: dpkg-reconfigure usplash That's it! usplash worked for me on next reboot. So it seems usplash is not configuring the correct resolution for some cards... -- No usplash at all https://launchpad.net/bugs/66607 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
