Hello all,<br>
<br>
After recently reinstalling my mythtv frontend and then tuning the startup<br>
down to several seconds (<10 from 0 to mythdesktop) there is still<br>
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<br>
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<br>
or something like it ) to hide all that untill the frontend is ready for<br>
action ?<br>
<br>
It is possible that you'll never get rid of some of that since it is<br>

interaction between your video card and your TV.<br>
<br>
For example, mine goes through the grub boot-up sequence - and I'll add<br>
here that I deliberately leave the startup console visible since I want to<br>
know if something goes wrong - and then the TV switches to all blue for a<br>
while when the HDMI signal disappears. After about 2-5 seconds it goes<br>
black as the card goes from text to graphic mode and then the main menu<br>
appears.<br>
<br>
I'm also using LXDE and I have never seen the desktop.<br>
<br>
You haven't told us which distribution you're using: I know there are<br>
splash screens available for most these days.<br>

My distro is fedora 20 x86_64.<br>

Do you use lxde as a window manager, or do you only use lxdm and boot<span class=""><br>
straight into mythfrontend ?<br>
( thus using only lxdm+mythfrontend and no lxde )<br>
I can't get the last option to work on fedora 20.<br>

As far as I'm aware I'm using the basic desktop. This is a stock Debian build so I just have task-lxde installed. It is a dedicated front-end so I boot straight into mythfrontend, but the desktop means I have an option to run a terminal window if I have to, that's all. The box is powerful enough I'm not worried about the overhead.<br>
<br>
As a note to other responders, I'm also happy to shut down my box when I'm not using it. I don't mind the odd ~40 seconds it takes to boot up and we don't tend to spend all day watching recordings so sleep options would be over engineering our requirements.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
