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 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 interaction between your video card and your TV.<br>
<br>
For example, mine goes through the grub boot-up sequence - and I'll add here that I deliberately leave the startup console visible since I want to know if something goes wrong - and then the TV switches to all blue for a while when the HDMI signal disappears. After about 2-5 seconds it goes black as the card goes from text to graphic mode and then the main menu 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 splash screens available for most these days.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
