I believe it's the animation with a light pattern cycling below the Ubuntu logo -- shown when GDM loads, and after logging in via GDM when the desktop loads.
And yes, I confirm that this animation looks "broken" in the sense that it does not flow smoothly, which creates a bad impression. The animated part is also a bit small, compared to the size of the empty space on the screen. -- GDM throbber has too many frames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
