    One of the annoying little setup items on my list of things to do every time I reinstall Kubuntu is changing the bootsplash screen resolution from 800x600 to something more appropriate for my monitor, specifically, 1280x1024. Here's how it's done:

    sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf

    The file should be altered to read:

    # Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1280
yres=1024

    The final step is to update the "initial RAM disk", that is used when your system boots up:

    sudo update-initramfs -u

    If you skip the last step, you will probably only see your new usplash resolution during shutdown and not when your computer boots up.
