[Bug 178346] no boot splash while booting Kubuntu

[Pho3nix]

Public bug reported:

Hallo,

I installed Kubuntu and everything just worked quite fine. Well but then
I booted it and everything was black - the display was switched on as I
was able to see the backlight, but it was black anyway!! Okay I waited
as I saw that the harddrive worked and then suddenly KDM appeared. Then
everyting was fine, but when I tried to boot Kubuntu again, the
bootsplash was not there! And while shutting it down there is no
bootsplash either!!

A little workaround is to edit the menu.list of grub to quiet quiet (it was before quiet splash). But after the next kernel, I know from previously installations of Ubuntu, the setting will be turned back to the original one! Thats very problematic as I have an encrypted harddrive and to enter the key I, of course, have to see when to enter it!
It's no problem with quiet quiet und at Feisty it switched to the text-mode, but now it does not, it is just black and thats of course bad!

Thank you for your attention!
