I have auto-login set up, so it should fade straight from xsplash to the desktop without the GDM interface being involved. I can confirm that the change is very sudden. It may in fact be attempting to crossfade, but it does so when there is a lot of disk I/O going on.
Sometimes I see one frame of crossfade in between, but it seems to be crossfading to *black*, which makes it look oddly like the spotlight has suddenly gone out. This may be caused by bug 435522 -- xsplash is disappearing before the desktop is actually ready. ** Tags added: ubuntu-boot-experience -- Login screen no longer fades to desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445479 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
