Public bug reported: It would be nice if the plymouth progress bar could make a rough time estimate and then provide some text advising the user. Currently it progresses in percentages, and the user has to estimate time relative to the percentage.
For example, on a machine with 1TB of disk space, a file system check at boot can take several minutes. In such long periods it would be nice to tell the user it will be "a few minutes" or even go so far as to say to "Enough time to make a cup of your favourite hot beverage" or some such. ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fsck progressbar time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917269 Title: Progress bar could be more friendly by telling user to "make tea" for long operations.
