Intrepid: Edubuntu has no Usplash

This is intentional for netboot installations (which could turn out to be anything so don't necessarily have the same defaults as other installations). Boot the installer with the 'splash' kernel parameter, or add 'splash' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst after installation, if you want to get usplash.

This is also the case for standard install too.

This only effect Edubuntu

This is not an issue with the usplash mechanism so must be an issue with the artwork itself

I've had no splash with edubuntu on two different systems. The first one I installed edubuntu-artwork-splash with synaptic and the second I installed from the edubuntu cd. Reinstalling the package doesn't work. I've switched the splash image back to original ubuntu one, which works fine.

I'm going to play around with this a bit more and see what I can figure out, but I think something is wrong with the 8.10 version of edubuntu-splash.so.

Regards.

I was wrong about that. The issue isn't with the edubuntu-splash. I installed 4 other splash images via synaptic, but the only one that works is the default ubuntu one. I also tried changing the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 800x600 and 640x480 from 1024x768, but the issue remains.

As I said in the last post, I've had the same problem on two systems installing from different sources. One system was a laptop and the 64 bit version of Intrepid and the other system was a desktop with the x86 version.

Regards.

Hi, the same here. Only default ubuntu splash artwork does run, eben with different resolutions.

edubuntu-artwork-usplash does not work. Tested on different machines with Ubuntu i386 & amd64. Package does install and configures but does not show a splash screen. Settings in the /boot/grub/menu.lst are correct.

And what I really like, no error message ....
