It sounds like you have the same problem on my Asus eee pc 1001ha. After an upgrade from Karmic i had this issue. Do the following in a terminal sudo -s touch /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash update-initramfs -u reboot This forces the framebuffer to load as soon as possible. -- [lucid] No splash screen at boot up, just flashing cursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
