I found a solution: first edit the following file: sudo vim /etc/usplash.conf
there change the default resolution, i.e. 1024 and 768 my file looks like this: #Usplash configuration file xres=1024 yres=768 then run: sudo update-initramfs -u that did the trick for me. -- No Boot Splash for Gutsy Final https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157609 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
