usplash fails...

[G-DubX]

I just upgraded from KDE 4.1.1 to 4.1.2

I tried rebooting and I get this output:

Starting up...
Loading, please wait
usplash: setting mode 1152x864 failed
usplash: using mode 1024x768
kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by_uuid/177f375e-1ec7-4bec-9ca7-670ccbf75357)=sbd1 (8, 17)
kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by_uuid/177f375e-1ec7-4bec-9ca7-670ccbf75357
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...

Ubuntu 8.04.1 ********-desktop tty1

I tried fixing X in the recovery mode. Tried restarting KDE. I don't really know what to do here. PLEASE HELP!

Re: usplash fails...

On the Grub screen: press e (edit) and remove splash from the grub boot line.

There is something like this:

kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-4-generic root=UUID=dd58f5e5-4200-41cd-bd46-456b2d581805 ro quiet splash

Change it to:

kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-4-generic root=UUID=dd58f5e5-4200-41cd-bd46-456b2d581805 ro quiet

- you may edit the grub menu when you see it at the first beggining of a
system startup process.
Pressing 'e' will bring you into the edit mode of grub.
select the line you want to edit with the <Up> and <Dn>Keys (The up and
down arrow keys)
press 'e' once more to edit the selected line.
you may delete the options 'quiet' and / or 'splash' with the delete keys
press <Esc> to leave the edit mode and
press <b> to boot
This also only effects one system startup and ist often used as a fallback
if a system will not start or for testing purposes. The man-pages of grub
and the grub-Howto will give a *lot* of information about this.

After this you should start normal way (without usplash). Can you ?


Usplash is not connected to the KDE desktop. Has there been a Usplash update lately ?
Hmm - a bug report > setting mode 1152 x 864 failed
