Boot Splash - zapinguete - 08-05-2015 should be simple,just remove the feather or a simple progress bar,there some nice one out there,look at windows 7 settings setup Re: Boot Splash - DGMurdockIII - 10-27-2016 I agree there needs to be something to show that progress being made ie the computer is not locked up Re: Boot Splash - jerryferreira - 10-30-2016 Agreed. Version 2.8 did and when I installed 3.0, I wasn't sure what was happening. Can be unsettling for a beginner.

I went to /etc/default/grub, deleted 'quiet' (I think not necessary; it is the listing on screen), changed 'splash' in 'nosplash', saved the file and did 'sudo update-grub'. That made it persistent. Carefull! Re: Boot Splash - Valtam - 10-31-2016 Getting this to perfectly sync with the actual boot process is extremely difficult. I haven't seen it done yet in Linux, even Mint doesn't have a progress bar. Re: Boot Splash - technomancer - 10-31-2016 Since accurately representing progress is difficult, my suggestion would be an animated icon or LinuxLite feather that fades in and out as booting is in progress. I am not sure how complicated that would be to implement, however i have seen multiple .bmp images of varying gradients cycled to provide animation.

I'm open to that if you can provide a working example for me to look at. Re: Boot Splash - technomancer - 10-31-2016 OK I will research this. A quick google search i found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/84045/how-do-i-run-a-custom-animated-bootscreen#85329 Assistance from a dev would be a great help, getting my feet wet on this... But I definitely want to give it my all. 3am here, so I will continue tomorrow. Re: Boot Splash - technomancer - 11-22-2016 (10-31-2016, 09:12 AM)technomancer link Wrote: OK I will research this. A quick google search i found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/84045/how-do-i-run-a-custom-animated-bootscreen#85329Sorry for the long delay in getting this going, I have been busy at work lately due to holidays coming up. I have some preliminary tests I am running to get a boot-splash working and have been researching different methods to implement it without adding more work for the Dev team and Jerry. I hope to have a working example by mid December, which I will offer a couple different styles of the LinuxLite feather as the boot splash progress indicator. Re: Boot Splash - Valtam - 11-23-2016 No hurry on this, a big change from a static boot to an animated one wouldn't be looked at until Series 4.x Good luck and thank you ![]() |
