How to enable the Boot Splash Screen?

Question

After hitting enter from GRUB, the screen displays a blinking cursor. How can I enable the loading screen, so that the boot splash screen displays instead of a blinking cursor??

Which graphic card do you have? – skalka Oct 30 '10 at 17:09 — skalka, Oct 30 '10 at 17:09

echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-grub2
sudo update-initramfs -u

or have a look at this page (in spanish): http://lavidalinux.com.ar/2010/05/como-arreglar-plymouth-en-ubuntu-10-04.html

I'm not sure why it occurs, maybe you disabled it before. here there is a explanation to disable it, so you can do the opposite.

But if you have a nvidia or ati video card that could be the problem. I have an ati card and Boot Splash Screen doesnt work for me neither
