Oddly enough, one exists, and it’s called usplash.conf . Running $ more /etc/usplash.conf # Usplash configuration file # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs. xres=1440 yres=900 2. I also edited the menu.lst file, in /boot/grub/ gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and changed the end of the “kernel” line for the default Linux image boot, removing “quiet”, and ensuring “splash” was also included: title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=[Your UUID] ro splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic 3. Restore splash screen from Kubutu to ubuntu To get back your familiar Ubuntu usplash image and screen $sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash update-initramfs: Generating /boot/i
