I upgraded Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10. After a restart this is all I get:
usplash: setting mode 1280x1024 failed-40b0-8f4d-c4afe4ee4001 usplash: Setting mode 1152x865 failed usplash: Using mode 1024x768 Ubuntu 9.10 nate-desktop-ubuntu tty1 nate:desktop-ubuntu login:
Update: After running
sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf
, changing the resolution to800x600
, runningsudo update-initramfs -u
, and finally restarting, this is all I get:Boot from (hd0,5) ext 1f60f2b0-6a61-40b0-8f4d-c4afe4ee4001 Ubuntu 9.10 nate-desktop-ubuntu tty1 nate-desktop-ubuntu login:
I can login but all I get is this terminal. How can I get to my desktop, files, icons, or apps?
Update 2: Someone suggested it not a
usplash
problem but an NVidia problem. Any help?-

KiiroSora09 over 14 yearsUbuntu Karmic runs both usplash and xsplash, to leave no stage of the boot process unprettified. usplash may well be dropped in future though.

KiiroSora09 over 14 yearshmm. What happens when you run
startx
from the command line? Any more useful error messages?
