term question

[komputes]

I found this solutions on the forums. The solution is simply to add 
nosplash to your menu.lst file.

Open terminal in Gnome (Accessories-Terminal). Enter sudo gedit 
/boot/grub/menu.lst. Enter your user password. Scroll down to the entry 
of your active kernel. You'll recognize that by the name you press every 
time you want to enter into Ubuntu. In the append section add "nosplash" 
or "splash=no" at the end of line, and if there delete the 
"splash=silent" or whatever it is there. Save the file and exit. Reboot.
