Title:
Spinner vanishes from screen during 22.04 boot from USB
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I burnt Ubuntu 22.04 to USB and used it to boot a stock Dell XPS 15 laptop.
It started the boot OK, showed the splash screen with the spinner rotating.
After about two minutes the spinner disappears for 55 secs, then reappears,
and the disappears again. The system continues to boot successfully from USB.
The problem is that it is VERY unnerving for a new or potential user when the
only sign of life vanishes without trace or warning. I have watched new users
get up and walk away permanently from systems that do this because to then it
means it has hung, and won't be coming back. Is it possible to nice(1) the
background processes to the point where they do not usurp all cycles from the
spinner? A blind process (like a splash screen) should NEVER stop
communicating
to the users that it is still alive and kicking.
