I can confirm this - it also make console logins impossible without doing a reboot and removing the splash options.
Moreover the ability to press alt + F1 (or F2 or F3) to dismiss the boot up graphics during boot is also not present. (As it is in every other distribution). This is a very useful facility for trouble shooting and should be included. -- edgy: usplash (?) blocks console after kdm shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67440 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
