Public bug reported: Nowadays we get frequent feedback from desktop user being confused by plymouth not showing or showing for a (few) seconds.
Plymouth has a default timeout of 5 seconds before being displayed, the idea was to not display it at all rather than for a few seconds. In practice most configurations take 10 seconds or longer to boot and it seems it's quite common with current market configurations&Ubuntu versions to be in the 7-8 seconds which doesn't play nicely with the 5 seconds delay and make that "plymouth show for one second result" That's something upstream discussed/considered changing in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/issues/64 before decided to go directly to the new design of keeping the bios/vendor logo on screen and avoiding transition this way. The outcome of the discussion was that it would probably make sense to change the default to 0 second. I proposed doing that in disco (and perhaps backport that to cosmic/bionic then). WDYT? ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808196 Title: Set the default delay to 0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1808196/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
