No splash Screen in ubuntu - How to solve it??

In ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 , some times there is no splash screen display. Where did it go?

Yes, it is Screen resolution problem, that can solve with a little changes as shown below.

Edit the following file,

$ sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf

Then change the values with new values , that your system support. You can find your supported values from System –> Preferences –> Screen Resolution.

In my case, it was:

xres=1024

yres=768

Now we need to reconfigure the usplash

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh usplash

Perfect, this worked great on a fresh install of 8.10 on a Powerbook G4!
