Sarvatthmm, wonder if there is a way to use vga=ask for the first boot after a blob is installed, record the mode picked then use that for later boots15:55
Sarvatt"We have no plans at this time to add framebuffer console support to the driver. We recommend that you use Xorg if you want to use graphics." yay nvidia15:59
* Sarvatt misses xsplash16:00
tseliot:/16:00
tseliotSarvatt: but it should work if we use the vga16fb module16:01
tseliotas we have a plugin for that in plymouth16:01
Sarvattpeople just complain about how ugly it is then though, can't win16:01
tseliotI know but it's better than the text plugin16:03
Sarvattvesafb is loading too late for some people in maverick it looks like16:03
Sarvattno /dev/fb0 when plymouth is starting so it falls back to text in these logs16:05
tseliotfurthermore vesafb means broken/unreliable suspend & resume16:05
tseliotah16:06
Sarvatterr vesafb didnt even load at all http://launchpadlibrarian.net/56950180/BootDmesg.txt16:13
jcristauhow often do people boot to care about how it looks?16:14
Sarvattthats how I feel about it but it's kind of ridiculous how many complaints there are about it. boots are so fast now i think it would look nice just being all black even16:26
tseliotyes, and even with radeon I see the bootsplash for about 2-4 seconds16:32
bjsniderboots would be faster without the arbitrary 10 second timeout in ubuntu's grub16:41
tjaaltononly if you have $otheros installed16:41
bjsniderjust a black screen for 30 seconds would leave users asking what is going on16:42
tjaaltonit doesn't show the menu if ubuntu is all you have16:42
bjsniderbut it does have the 10 second timeout16:43
tjaaltonthe grub timeout is ~3s iirc16:43
tjaaltonuh, seems it's back to ten with grub216:45
bjsniderand why 10?16:45
tjaaltonmaybe upstream default16:47
bjsnidervery conservative though16:47
