Re: Art Proposal Help
Hello,
At least the (or a similar) loading system progress bar should be used -
at the moment there isn't one at all. In wheezy there is the (slightly
offputting/unproffesional looking) updates on the bash, which at least
let you know that it is still starting up, and you get to know roughly
where in the process you are. However, in jessie/testing, with systemd,
even this isn't the case any more, and there is a lot of unmoving blank
black screens. This would be fine if the start up was only a few
seconds, but for me its the best part of a minute. I think having a nice
looking screen, that users can associate with start up, showing a
progress bar, and maybe also something moving (spinning wheel?) to show
that stuff is happening, would be really great.
Thanks,
B
