Had a case today that the boot-process halted while the splash was on. CTRL+ALT+Fx did NOT work and no message showed up what the problem could be.
What do you "usability-experts" expect a normal user to do about such a situation? May I tell you? I guess the average user willing to switch to free software will pop its old Windows7-recovery-disk into the optical drive, restart and leave for good. For the last time: Hiding information from the user is NOT helping anybody. It is wrong. Wrong, because it shows a lack of respect for the intellectual capabilities of the average user. And wrong because it leads to situations, where a trivial problem will look so severe, that it proves fatal. Start thinking about this please. btw: I really cannot give any more informations about what the problem was for I have no such informations. All I can tell is that I saw a crude graphics-animation that was frozen. -- Allow pressing escape to see boot messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195666 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
