There's been several people reporting blank or corrupted usplash in Intrepid including myself. I just found that if I boot without usplash, right after Grub menu, initramfs complains :uvesafb : Failed to execute /sbin/v86d
This is strange because I don't use any framebuffer mode, and uvesafb seems to start anyway. /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?

On shutdown, the screen flashes with corrupted graphics, before flashing red. Finally, the Ubuntu shutdown progress bar appears before the machine turns off. (see attached video (H.264)). This is not 100% reproducible, but happens on the majority of shutdowns. On startup, the progess indicator becomes corrupted (see attached video (H.264)). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
