[Solved] No Boot Splash Screen

[SpikoPath]

I have installed Kubuntu on my Compaq Evo N600C

Pentium III 1Ghz
512MB Ram
ATI Radeon M6 LY

Since installing Gutsy I don't see the boot splash screen the gives you the blue progress bar. It was fine in Feisty just doesn't display in Gutsy. once it has finished booting, I can login and use it fine, in fact, Im using it to write this post.

The other issue is, it takes longer to boot up that Feisty did.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Re: No Boot Splash Screen

I have solved the problem

As it turns out, the reason why it wasn't showing the splash screen was because the splash screen was trying to display an image which is higher than the screen native resolution 1280x1024. The native reolution of my screen is 1024x768.

I followed this thread on a bug report

From Dante123

I had slow slow boot time and no splash screen after installing ubuntu 7.10 on an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R51. The screen was black for at least 3 minutes before I got to the login screen. I followed the steps you outlined:

sudo kate /etc/usplash.conf

- change the resolution inside the conf file by mine (it was 1280x1024, i put 1024x768 (ok i have an old pc...))

sudo update-initramfs -u

Now it is working fine! Booting in around 35 seconds with the splash screen. Thanks a lot. I hope this works for others too!
