The plot thickens: I did a dist-upgrade this morning (US CST morning), and restarted: no usplash anymore, not even as we had when this bug was opened.
I can see the monitor trying to go graphical, and reverting back to text mode; a message is flashed on the screen stating that usplash could not find an "usable theme for 1280x1024", and "screen init failed". On reboot, no usplash.
Removed /etc/usplash.conf, rebooted. No usplash image, but a nice video test pattern appeared on shutdown.
Recreated usplash.conf with a resolution of 1024x768 (down from the previously working 1280x1024, and rebooted.
Same messages as before.
Looking at dpkg.log I see an update, this morning, to kubuntu-artwork-usplash 1:7.04-27 (from 1:7.04-26), soI downgraded to -26, recovered my initial usplash config (at 1280x1024 resolution), and rebooted.
I am now back to the reporter's initial problem: on shutdown just the bar, no image, on usplash.
Well, right now, I am setting it as confirmed for usplash.
