is usplash fixed for anyone yet

[maestrobwh1]

It stopped working on boot up when the -10 kernel came out.

It isn't a huge deal, but has it started working for anyone again for whom it broke, or has anyone "fixed" it?

Not really. This is an alpha, after all. Just be amazed anything works!

Fair comment to a point, while an alpha release it is also quite late in the release cycle.

There are a number of threads about this on the Ubuntu forums, where people have posted that the most recent kernel update has corrected this problem.

However the problem still exists for Kubuntu, even with the latest Kernel.

Perhaps there is some substance to various posts that pop up from time to time suggesting that less effort goes into polish for Kubuntu than Ubuntu.

Personally I don't know about this but do wonder at times.

I've recently installed Karmic alpha6 with all updates on my test machine. My first look at *buntu since moving to Debian Sid after the 9:04 lockup debacle.

Problems so far are no splash on boot, grub or usplash, as per the original post, no big deal really. There may be more but I've only had a about half a day with it yet.

I am concerned about the frequent hard lock ups though, (yet again). /sigh But will reserve final assesment till some time after it goes gold.

Plan appears to be to move away from usplash/splashy altogether, if I understand this right.
