You have to be careful that the usplash you are trying to use is built for your architecture(I.E. x86 vs x86_64). Also, Usplash version changes constantly require people to recompile their splash to work with the newest version.

If you don't know already, using SUM can be dangerous if you aren't 100% sure what you are doing. Anyway, tell SUM to load the standard Ubuntu usplash, and then reboot. If you can see the Ubuntu one just fine, then you will need to find a usplash that works with that version or compile a usplash from source. If not, you probably will need to reinstall the usplash packages from the repo to get it working again.

The xmas-tree usplash that I made recently compiles from source when the .deb package is installed to address the problems listed above. Install the deb package, and then reboot.
