I noticed this as well, and it's described by bug 246269. > /sbin/v86d is not installed by default. In my > case, installing "v86d" package is a workaround that brought usplash > back to life. Can someone try this workaround and confirm if it solves > the issue? Installing v86d, and thereby enabling uvesafb, made things much worse for me. X wouldn't even start properly. I have since reinstalled Alpha 3 in order to switch this machine from i386 to amd64, and somewhere in the course of that change, this problem went away. Does anyone else here happen to have been running Ubuntu i386 on 64-bit hardware when experiencing this bug? -- - mdz -- [Intrepid] Usplash Screen Corruption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
