Boot Splash

[zapinguete]

should be simple,just remove the feather or a simple progress bar,there some nice one out there,look at windows 7 settings setup

I agree there needs to be something to show that progress being made ie the computer is not locked up

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 use the listing of the bootproces.
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!

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.

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.

OK I will research this. A quick google search i found this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/84045/how...reen#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.

Sorry 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.

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
