Here's a workaround that solved the problem for me: 1) enable framebuffer mode:
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash sudo update-initramfs -u 2) add this line to /etc/default/grub (The resolution has to be supported by BIOS. To check, execute vbeinfo at grub2 prompt.): GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 3) and finally: sudo update-grub2 -- Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI graphics driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
