Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] plymouth
Well, I had my little rant about this and I've gotten it out of my system. :-) I had heard lots of people on the forums saying it was difficult to remove, and that the best thing was to just turn off splash. Looking at what would be removed along with removal of Plymouth tended to support the idea that virtually everything depended on it. It isn't a huge deal, I guess, but doesn't make a good first impression when I show my system to friends. I'll try the vga= trick. Thanks.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] plymouth
Since Lubuntu is intended for low specs machines, 'splashscreen' could be just a text saying 'Lubuntu' and in the line under that one, 5 'o' appearing in a set of time, so it makes consistence with the idea of the distro (and trully think that this would me a lot easier to do and time saving to startup). -- jpxsat Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) Linux user #522.597 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Lubuntu-desktop] CD not ejected at end of installation
On the two machines I have tried the CD is not ejected at end of installation. Anybody else seeing this or is it my old machines. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Lubuntu-desktop] Online updates not installed during installation
I ticked the install online updates box but when I ran Update Manager straight after installation there were 43 updates to be installed. These are the same packages that were required by an earlier installation were I didn’t tick the box. The fluendo package has been installed, as I ticked that box as well. This is the first time I’ve tried this as the other machine was initially installed off-line.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] plymouth
And to be back to the initial problem (plymouth) : sadly, there was no work on plymouth integration for Ubuntu for this cycle, which not help for its stability. If removing it from the system seems possible, removing it from the Lubuntu ISO seems less easier. Anyway, it's something we could discuss for the next release.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] plymouth
First: Isn't there a way to get a text based splashcreen without plymouth?? it would result a faster boot! (and less complicated?) Second: a text based installer seems to me an excellent idea to make the installation fast, since many of us and the rest of the possible users of lubuntu would possibly use it to revamp an old machine!! Third: the text based installer should be by default and exist no other. Doing this, then we will not be dependent of some things that goes nuts, or another ones that are consuming much ram AND the install would be FAST. It's just my humble opinion :) -- jpxsat Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) Linux user #522.597 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
