Feature changed by: Stijn Van Nieuwenhuyse (svnieuw) Feature #305493, revision 10 Title: Look at plymouth for splash during boot openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I wanted to open a fate feature about this when I first heard of plymouth, but reading http://fedoramagazine.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/interview-fedora-10s-better-s... really makes me think we should go this way. Ray's comment starting with "Every flicker and mode change in the boot process takes away from the whole experience." is especially interesting. Is it okay to track the "don't show grub by default" here? Discussion: #1: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2008-11-30 00:32:58) Cool idea. #2: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) (2009-01-17 21:42:12) I like this idea. Flickers, dropping to text, etc. makes any OS look unprofessional. #3: Armin Moradi (amoradi) (2009-01-19 19:49:55) Agreed, those flickers are very unprofessional and annoying. + #4: Stijn Van Nieuwenhuyse (svnieuw) (2009-01-20 15:22:17) + With plymouth it would also be possible tot deliver a nice bootsplash + for far more setups than now are available. For example, my laptop does + not have an appropriate 16-bit widescreen framebuffer mode. Currently + the options are to have a stretched splash or have the framebuffer set + to the native (non 16-bit) resolution with bootsplash disabled. With + Fedora 10's plymouth I am able to get a good looking startup. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305493
