usplash seems to crash after 10 seconds so ugly text appears before xsplash.

You can find the following line in the log :
[ 21.858094] usplash:380 freeing invalid memtype fffffffff9000000-fffffffff9e00000

The text display between usplash and xsplash is this :
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16

Is anyone working on this?

[Guiodic (Guido Iodice) (guido-iodice)]

I solved: the problem was swap.

1) get the uuid of your swap partition

sudo blkid

example:
/dev/sda1: UUID="d4c3f800-f968-4445-bc32-3151051b1064" TYPE="swap"

2) edit initramfs:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

so:

RESUME=UUID=d4c3f800-f968-4445-bc32-3151051b1064

*** without " " ****

save and exit.

3) sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

4) reboot :)

Removing self as assignee - we're dropping usplash this cycle

this did not solve my problem, now I got another issue: "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured", see my other post on ubuntu forum for more details.

The usplash package has been superseded by plymouth and has been removed from the Ubuntu archive. Closing all related bugs.
