This is probably a bug that needs to be fixed because that screen doesn't always show up for me on boot. When I first loaded Oneiric I thought that logo screen and blinking dots had been removed in the latest release. When I restarted several days later it was back. Perhaps this is happening to you Dave?<br clear="all">

Folks seem to be proud of the clean uncluttered blank screen during the<br>
boot process. I thought that we as programmers/analysts/designers had<br>
learned decades ago that we need to keep the users informed of what's<br>
going on? Lets go back to the moving dots (or something) to indicate<br>
that the system was actually doing something. At least if they stop the<br>
user (me?) knows he's in trouble.<br>

What are you talking about? We have a big ubuntu logo with blinking dots. It is even themable so you can change the look.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
