I have a temporary suggestion. Simply download the Usplash source file from
here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash-theme-ubuntu/0.19
for example. But before building it, use the gimp to squash the widescreen
image that's included in the folder and replace all (or at least the
I have horizontally stretched usplash @ 1680x1050 too.

Same problem in intrepid beta on my 16:10 screen.

Well, why not letting the user tell usplash, if the screen gets
stretched or not (via /etc/usplash.conf)?
Usplash currently only handles 4:3 video modes, so options are:
1. Display an image of native resolution (or aspect ratio) compressed to 4:3 if
the screen gets stretched, or
2. Display a
@Jessie Lawrence: I undestand your pain but the problem is not in the
number of images, the problem is in determining and using the native
resolution of the monitor. Think about this: let's suppose the usplash
uses only one image of 300x200 pixels. Centering it is no problem, but
the end result
Although I'm not using an iMAC, I am using a wide screen monitor
(1920x1200) and the logo is stretched. :( I do not have knowledge of the
number of wide screen monitors in use by the community but they
certainly appear to be the trend in the LCD market.

ubuntu splash logo stretched on
why doesnt usplash do this:
it only has one image of the ubuntu boot logo, and its cropped so that
its the ubuntu logo and nothing else. then, when the computer boots, it
just takes the image of the ubuntu logo, puts it against a black
background, and centers it? that way, one image will work for
Nothing productive, just for your bug policy:

I hope you understand what I mean.

I know bug reports are not discussion forums, but let me just say that
this approach runs counter to Mark Shuttleworth's stated goal of having
Ubuntu look better than the Mac. I also use OS X and this is the kind of
aesthetic compromise Apple would never make. So this is something I
would have
I think that the reason this has not been fixed is a combination of:
a) difficulties determining the hardware/size/resolution
and
b) difficulty finding someone with the necessary technical understanding

I have this issue on an Asus EeePC 1000 with 10 screen w 1024x600
resolution as well as on my desktop machine with 1440x900. I must say
this makes Ubuntu look very unprofessional. I wonder if the bug's
importance as Low (and not being assigned to anyone) can be
reconsidered?

A bug's importance is not a rating of how good or bad it looks - it's
based on whether it hinders your system in working. i.e. if you cannot
use your machine at all because of a bug, then it's importance would
be high or critical. The splash screen makes no difference to whether
you can use your
i consider this important, medium fits it perfectly, because anyone who
boots up ubuntu will notice the ugly stretchyness, and widescreen
monitors are the most common kind of monitor nwadays, and it just doesnt
make SENSE for usplash to not support them!
i think the importance of this bug should
I did set the importance to low because :
1. Most of screen are not affected.
2. It doesn't cause any data loss, crash or does not affect the use of the
computer in any way.
3. Even if it doesn't look great, it's far from a corrupted screen which make
people think that their computer is dying ;)
Workaround for 1440x900 display: in the /etc/usplash.conf set the following
values:
xres=1440
yres=1080
The image will be displayed correctly.

This still happens on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 Beta with all updates to date on my HP
nc8430 with a 15 1680x1050 widescreen display (and ATI mobility radeon X1600).
Although the image is not as badly stretched as in Feisty/Gutsy. So
improvement, little by little.

Still an issue. To clarify:
Summary: usplash fails to properly identify and / or select the
widescreen usplash theme from the compiled binary. The resulting
usplash displays a 4:3 aspect splash stretched horizontally to fill the
screen. The net result is a 'squished' usplash display on
