To my knowledge, no. The way computers in general work is that there is some bit of firmware called the BIOS that comes with the computer that initializes the hardware and then hands itself off to the operating system. So xsplash doesn't get control until after the BIOS is done loading. If the BIOS wants to show you a splash screen or whatever, then there isn't really much you can do to stop it, short of changing the BIOS, which isn't really in the scope of Ubuntu. -- why do we see BIOS loading before Ubuntu 9.10 X-based Splash? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434298 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
