Plymouth starts approx at the end of the boot.
Hi, I'm using 12.04 (AMD64).
After migrating from 10.04 to 12.04 I found that the Grub wallpaper stay a long time on the screen and the splash image managed by Plymouth appears only in the last 2 - 3 seconds of the boot.
I thought it was a problem from Grub, but in the Grub mailing list they answered me this:
.....
This is actually an Ubuntu "feature", they wanted to have a seamless
transition between grub, plymouth, and GDM and so they configured
things so that the image left by grub doesn't get overwritten until
plymouth starts. This feature seems to be configured by passing the
vt.handoff=7 kernel parameter and is technically outside the scope of
grub as it's not grub that's interpreting this parameter but I'll try
to pass on what (little) information I know about it (most of which
can be found at
http://
as well).
.....
So I now ask why Plymouth starts so late during the boot?
Which is the sense of a splash image that appears only for 2 seconds instead of demonstrate that the boot is in progress?
