Hi phix! Just voicing your concern is probably the most helpful thing to do at this point, here and on IRC in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net.
Saïvann, Andrea and I discussed this bug and he (correct me if I am wrong with this pronoun) has stated that the bug really isn't in ubiquity because all ubiquity does is run a script which exists in usplash. If that is the case, the script needs to be fixed in usplash and it is invalid in ubiquity. Unless the problem is that ubiquity isn't properly running it, which in that case it IS valid in ubiquity, and also valid in usplash because as discussed above the proper solution is to have usplash detect the resolution each time. Would you mind just clarifying for me and records which situation is correct, Saïvann, or anyone else? Thanks! Also, I think it is important to note in regards to this issue that while it may not seem important to developers and loyal users of Ubuntu like myself, for many this boot screen is the first thing they see and is their first impression of Ubuntu. And in public places, non-users are also going to see this screen and associate it with Ubuntu. An unpolished first impression for these people is unwise, IMO. Personally I don't care if there was no splash screen, or if it was a laughing monkey sitting on a rainbow in the clouds; I already know I love Ubuntu. But for people who don't already, it would be nice to present an elegant and slick first impression via usplash, not a huge, pixelated, unpolished looking logo. -- [hardy]640x480 usplash on all computers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
