OK, I see a couple of seconds of blackness on a Xeon desktop still (even after the dbus fix landed) so it's easy to extrapolate that a VM will have even more noticeable blackness.
This is possibly related to Unity8 setting up/compiling QML things. Although it would be nice to have transitions in USC (and that's the whole point of it existing and the nested architecture), that's probably just a "nice to have" on the USC side. I would like to be responsible for that too, as native GL animation is something close to my heart and what I've been working toward in the Mir architecture for years. ** Also affects: unity-system-compositor Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity-system-compositor Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: unity-system-compositor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - Lacks animated transition between greeter and session + Screen is black for too long during login to Unity8 ** Tags added: black-screen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672401 Title: Screen is black for too long during login to Unity8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1672401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
