[opensuse-factory] boot screen fun wiht RC1

Hi, I just installed RC1 fresh and observed some points at the boot screen of the bootloader I want to share. 1. I have had a broken display when I opened the language menu in beta2, this was fixed in RC1 :-) 2. I got a penguin running around. Nice but destructive, the painting is destroying the language menu when the penguin is running over it. Just a little ugly. You may need to know that my screen is detected as 800x600, if your screen is bigger you might not see this. 3. I could not find a way to add boot parameter anymore. Was this removed? I usually add a vga=0x305 because the installer is not detecting my screen. 4. After the installation the language menu is broken. I have installed openSuse in English only and I was expecting a menu entry "English" but I got "en". I any of this worse a bug report?

You sure can. Never seen it missing.
Looks like a bug.

I for sure can't. I started to install RC1 in vmware and now I can see the whole beauty of this winter bootscreen. Here I can indeed change the boot parameter. But my notebook does not show the whole bootscreen, I only see the menu in the center but not the animations at the left and bottom and not the input line for the parameter. This did work with beta2!
I will write reports... Jens --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
