[ubuntu-art] New Boot Experience in Karmic
Hi Everyone, As some of you may already know, Ubuntu Karmic will get a whole new, shiny and flicker-free boot experience. Another words, the sequence of events between switching on your computer and your desktop session will be largely redeveloped and redesigned. New stuff includes: - grub 2, which will be silent, only accessible on-demand (by holding down Shift during Bootloader initialization), - KMS-powered experiences for the initial boot splash, password encrypted filesystem and disk-check, - Graphical boot splash that will be running on top of X-server, not Usplash, - Graphical OS Switcher available by pressing ESC during the startup sequence, also running on top of X, - GDM 2. What's most important is: the boot will be *a lot* faster than in Jaunty (sorry, no precise figures yet!). In fact, the Platform Team (Scott James Remnant leading the efforts) aims at making the X-server start in *no more than 3 seconds* on a reference machine (Dell Mini 9/Mini 10v). What it means is that the standard boot sequence will not include Usplash any longer, instead, the X-session will be started right away. Therefore, the graphical boot splash screen will have the whole X-stack available, including hardware acceleration... The important news is that the look&feel of the new boot experience has not been defined yet. Otto Greenslade (CC'd) is leading the work there, but I'm sure he would appreciate any help. Fresh, innovative concepts is what we're looking for (in-line with Ubuntu branding of course!), in particular regarding the graphical boot splash (spinners, animations, artwork, etc.). The design guidelines can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec Please poke kwwii or chaotic (that's Otto) on irc if you need any further info!

In the packaging branch the AUTHORS file includes the Oxygen team and debian/control's description claims that pieces of Oxygen are used. Are there any more instances of Oxygen included in Breathe?

Wow!! This is very awesome. I am extremely excited about karmic's artwork! Even the plain-text boot in the pics looks great. Just the clean up and font change makes it look very nice and professional. ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The text mode will still look like text mode – not much we can change there! :) M. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] New Boot Experience in Karmic
I see the mention of solid colors. Given as I've never worked on such a thing. What are some of the other limitations to the graphics such as color depth, resolution, and fonts?

Ahh, no way to change fonts? But still great work, I look forward to seeing what the booting experience will look like at the final release. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

In KMS-powered pieces (disk check, encrypted disk, initial splash screen) we're limited to the use of simple gradients (vertical, horizontal) or solid colors (full color palette is available, not only 256 like in the current Usplash implementation). We can also render text properly using the default system font. The new splash screen and os-switcher will run on top of X server so there are no limitations as far a colors or fonts are concerned.

It is in our (the oxygen team) interest that you move forward and are productive...naturally, I can vouch for your credibility ;) -- Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
