John, just run update-initramfs -u and rebooted and now it works, I get the Ubuntu logo while booting.
Weird, I'd bet it didn't work before installing kubuntu-artwork-usplash and now it does. Anybody else can confirm this? -- usplash resolution error in boot and halt https://launchpad.net/bugs/60621 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
