14 DAY TRIAL // Not many users might have noticed the annoying messages that were seen sometimes during the shutdown sequence in Ubuntu systems, but that issue should now be fixed.
A number of Shutdown and Logout improvements have been implemented in Ubuntu 14.04 and those changes are now being tested.
Recently a number of uploads were done to improve shutdown ordering, such that there is a smoother transition between lightdm shutting down and plymouth shutdown splash animation appearing. Ideally, upon shutting down, one shouldn't see intermittently any console messages.”
“If you in the past, upon shutdown, used to see some white messages on black background between desktop session tear-down and plymouth shutdown splash appearing, please consider testing latest trusty packages of upstart, lightdm and plymouth,” said Ubuntu developer Dimitri John Ledkov.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is scheduled to launch on April 17.
