    No Kubuntu loading screen in LL

    Well, after I finally installed LL on my machine, I noticed 2 things... There's no blue Kubuntu loading screen and the console boot shows me there was a fatal error found in...

    modprobe: Fatal: /lib/modules/<number representing the kernel version>-generic/modules.dep: file or directory not found

    I don't know if it has something to do with the lack of splash screen or not.

    There another discovery I made...

    It's not corrupt; it's just a very low resolution with a very low colour depth. You could try this:

    1) Using sudo/kdesudo, edit the file /etc/default/grub:
    If necessary, comment out the line GRUB_TERMINAL=console by prepending a # character.
    If necessary, un-comment the GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 line.
    Change it to some appropriate resolution, for example: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

    2) Using sudo/kdesudo, edit the file /etc/grub.d/00_header:
    In line 103, before insmod gfxterm, insert/edit:
    set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}
    set gfxpayload=keep

    3) Run sudo update-grub.

    4) Don't blame me if it goes wrong.

    You could give it a try before making any changes: when booting your machine, press e on your chosen GRUB menu entry and insert gfxpayload=1024x768 (as line 3, I was told somewhere around here; and of course using whatever resolution you desire and your hardware supports).
    My OS has no such file there. How can I create one? Or is this file specifically design to work with Grub 2? I still have the old one not version 2.

    Yes. For Grub 2 specifically.

      OK, thanks, Snow.

      Well, I have plymouth splash screen installed on my system (I had to install it with apt-get) but it looks horrible, like it were made for 8-bit gaming consoles like NES... How can I fix that?
