To complicate matters, the fix for comment #3 has now landed in upstream gnome-shell 3.36.1. So if we want we can say "Won't Fix" to the now redundant Plymouth fix in comment #7. Or land both because it's more robust to have two fixes (both would have to regress before you noticed a regression).
This bug still needs a second gnome-shell fix though, the main fix which is comment #13. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867133 Title: Ubuntu logo vanishes and fades back in (with a slightly different size) on gdm start Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: spinner theme flickers Ubuntu logo on gdm transition At the end of boot, spinner disappears and Ubuntu logo remains 100% opacity white on screen. Then GDM starts, and performs a fade-in animation of background gradient, and fade-ins Ubuntu logo. This results in visual flicker, where Ubuntu logo temporarily dissappears and instantly fades back in. This should be more smooth. For example, gdm could paint ubuntu logo at 100% opacity white without animation, whilst everything else fades- in. Or we could fade out ubuntu-logo in the spinner plymouth theme, such that on boot it is a tasteful pulsating logo that fades out, and back in.
