Linux Lesson for Today: fixing bootsplash

After installing yet another distro in my machine, the bootsplash (the screen that shows up while booting with a progress bar -- for Ubuntu, Mint etc) started acting weird: After showing up, and the blip going to and fro a couple of time -- the splash disappeared and all the textual progress started showing up.
This link solved my problem.

1. Make sure you have the initramfs-tools update
sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools
2. Run the blkid util to show what your existing UUIDs are.
root@hardy-desktop:~# sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="a76fe101-7951-4a65-af1e-50b2902c5b35" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="8dd072f1-25b3-4a7f-888f-2314697d60b9"
3. Verify that the UUID listed for the swap partition in the previous step matches what is listed in /etc/fstab
root@grigsby-desktop:~# cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=a76fe101-7951-4a65-af1e-50b2902c5b35 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=8dd072f1-25b3-4a7f-888f-2314697d60b9 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
4. Modify the UUID in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file to match the UUID listed for the swap partition from blkid.
root@hardy-desktop:~# cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=UUID=617b4b90-112e-497a-bc6b-dda2a3e7565e
root@hardy-desktop:~# sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
5. Update the initramfs.
sudo update-initramfs -u
6. Restart the system.
sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools

/dev/sda1: UUID="a76fe101-7951-4a65-af1e-50b2902c5b35" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
