Hello all,<br>
<br>
After recently reinstalling my mythtv frontend and then tuning the startup down to several seconds (<10 from 0 to mythdesktop) there is still something that bothers me.<br>
<br>
all the screens flashing by while the system boots<br>
* ugly ascii grub (because of the nvidia drivers there is no nice animation)<br>
* ugly ascii bar filling up (again nvidia drivers to blame)<br>
* lxde desktop popping up for a very short tim<br>
* white screen hiding the lxde desktop<br>
* black screen hiding the white screen<br>
* mythtv screen building up.<br>
<br>
does anybody know how to dump a splash screen over it (animated hourglass or something like it ) to hide all that untill the frontend is ready for action ?<br>
<br>

Personally, I use suspend to RAM rather than actually shutting down my frontends. I still restart X and mythfrontend when resuming, but that definitely lessens the ugliness. During suspend, I use this line in irexec:<br>
<br>
config = killall mythfrontend; echo -n "mem" >/sys/power/state; /etc/init.d/lirc restart; /usr/bin/irexec -d /home/mythtv/.lircrc; killall gnome-keyring-daemon; killall Xorg<br>
<br>
Everything after 'echo -n "mem" >/sys/power/state' gets run upon resume. Restarting lircd is necessary, because otherwise it stops responding. The 'killall gnome-keyring-daemon' command is there because I found X was leaving these processes hanging around otherwise. The final 'killall Xorg' stops X and then it gets restarted automatically because my runlevel is 5. mythfrontend is setup such that it starts whenever X starts.<br>
