Bug Description

Binary package hint: usplash

A regression from Jaunty: usplash does not start in "pulsate" mode (some themes still have a progress bar), so there is no indication of pre-boot progress, and there are no animations when waiting for input (for crypt disks, etc).

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.48

---------------
usplash (0.5.48) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * usplash.8: document --background and --pidfile.
  * debian/usplash.upstart: as in Jaunty, start in pulsate mode for themes
    that define a progress bar (LP: #458398).

  [ Johan Kiviniemi ]
  * Let clients CLEAR old messages away when in quiet mode.
    - Fixes LP: #215666: mountall’s messages such as “foo cannot yet be
      mounted” would be left on the screen even after success.
