My usplash screen doesn't display, just has some place-holders.  Wolf PS I am running PIII Dell Opti-GX110 (32-bit, of course) in case it matters.  The Dapper usplash worked before I dist-upgraded. PPS EyeCandy is of zero value to me.  I would rather have a light desktop than pretty pictures.  I am probably the only one who feels this way.  As soon as Edgy goes to production, I will update in XUbuntu.  One of the main reasons I am using Linux, besides it being so incredibly cool, is that I can run very lean resource usage if I want to.  ubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <toby.smithe@gmail.com>Message: 2 Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 12:11:31 -0700 From: Scott <geekboy@angrykeyboarder.com> Subject: Edgy Usplash. Hacks/Options? To: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Message-ID: <1449778.hpV9fydTHs@angrykeyboarder.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 I love the look of the Edgy Usplash screens (I have Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu). What I miss from the Dapper/Version is (and forgive my terminology here) the scrolling list of startup services (which I presume are descendants from similar display in GRUB bootsplash screens). Since I've recently discovered that switching from one Usplash to another (e.g. Kubuntu to Ubuntu) requires some undocumented procedures) I was wondering if there is an undocumented procedure/hack to get the startup services to appear in the Edgu Usplash screens (or a way to look "behind" the Usplash screen -perhaps via an function key?) If not, did anyone consider that users might miss this? I won't argue that aesthetically the current Uspash screens rock. They really do look great (particularly the Ubuntu one). But I do miss the startup stuff going by. It's helpful at times (which I suppose is why it's traditionally appeared at startup to begin with).
