I have the same problem on Dapper Beta (upgraded from Breezy/Warty). The Kubuntu default KUBUNTU_splashscreen_blue_neon_logo_03.xpm.gz doesn't work. fiesta.xpm.gz works, though.
KUBUNTU_splashscreen_blue_neon_logo_03.xpm.gz has some strange characters left to the copyright comment in the first few lines of the gunzipped xpm. I deleted them, but to no avail. No LVM here. Maybe our grub is too old for this file? Although adept tells me that my grub is uptodate, I doubt that the upgrade process has re-installed grub to the MBR. -- splash image not showing https://launchpad.net/bugs/39673 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
