Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
The transition between Plymouth and GDM is far from smooth, involving (in my experience) a brief black screen. This needn't be the case if this post (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/plymouth/2009-June/000126.html) regarding a smooth Plymouth➔GDM transition in Fedora is accurate. Details of how the Fedora developers allegedly* achieved this smooth transition are available via the above link. I don't know whether this is technically feasible, or even desirable, within Ubuntu. However that non-smooth Plymouth➔GDM is a blight on an otherwise splendid start-up process. *I have no direct experience of Fedora ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fedora gdm plymouth ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727136 Title: Transition between Plymouth and GDM is not smooth -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
