Exactly. But you shouldn't have gone to this broken boot-up software in the first place before you had the bugs out of it. When it doesn't work on essentially all high end graphics hardware and a good portion of low end hardware, it doesn't work. I'm sick of Ubuntu repeated replacing working software with broken software because some corporate egg head thinks it's the way forward.
I can understand why they do it, but I can still make it crystal clear to you why it was the wrong choice to move to Plymouth. Maybe there are some back-end benefits to it. But seeing as it is an extremely visible part of the user experience that everybody sees, I really think Ubuntu shot itself in the foot by replacing the beautiful boot up sequence of 9.10 with this broken piece of ****, only to fix it *after* the LTS release. I think this bug speaks of everything that's wrong with Linux on the desktop, which can easily be summarized briefly as a prioritization of some developer's idea of inner beauty over the *actual* user experience. Nobody cares if Plymouth is a couple seconds faster or easier for developers to work with if it looks like ****. And the fact that LTS users have to live with this horrible decision it is just plain disturbing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 Title: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
