Comment 20 for bug 301737

Today tty works again for me ;)

Probably this fix:

usplash (0.5.26) jaunty; urgency=low

* Fix various compiler warnings.
* debian/splash-functions: Kill usplash more gracefully in splash_stop;
introduces new SPLASH_ORIG_CONSOLE environment variable which can be
checked by other init scripts (LP: #304136).
* Notify the main loop by means of a self-pipe when SIGALRM is triggered,
rather than attempting to animate the display from a signal handler
(thanks to Andrea Gasparini for testing and adjustment; LP: #259761).
* Sleep for 0.1 second rather than 1 second in init script while waiting
for usplash to die, and adjust the loop count both there and in
splash-functions to match the previous behaviour of giving usplash up to
10 seconds to go away (LP: #313574).
