There was already another bug open for the login prompt being too early to read the hostname ... that's been fixed by the 0.2.1-6 upload I made a few hours ago.
It's important to identify the bug before you join in on it ... this one is specifically about all ttys being blanked by usplash (unless I'm misinterpreting the original reporter); other bugs exist for the "getty started to early" (fix released) and "getty missing from tty1 only" (seems to have gone away on its own) bugs. -- ttys started by upstart not visible when usplash ran https://launchpad.net/bugs/59132 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
