As of 2009-09-29, a boot of Ubuntu 9.10 alpha looks like this:
0:00 power switch on
0:05 BIOS boilerplate
0:20 Grub menu (80x25, VGA font) + count down begins
0:25 "Starting up..." (80x25, VGA font)
0:27 Text font change (80x25, custom font)
0:45 Text mode change (160x50, VGA font)
1:00 Text font change (160x50, custom font)
1:05 Black (completely blank) screen
1:08 Xsplash, arrow pointer
1:17 GDM login (...user interaction required)
1:24 Xsplash, hourglass pointer
1:38 Backlight brightness level change
1:39 GNOME top + bottom panels appear
1:48 Desktop background loaded
2:04 Desktop Icons *start* appearing
2:24 Desktop Icons *finish* appearing (448 items)
2:25 Click Firefox loader icon
2:47 Firefox appears
There are around ~10 times during boot when the screen has visibly
jarred/changed without due cause (eg. font, or brightness change).
There is *30 seconds* of 1990s classic scrolling text bootup (primarily
udev and ntp error messages).
Ideally font and text mode dimensions changes should be combed.
Ideally usplash should be displayed if textual scroll will have has been
displayed for more ~3 seconds.
