I have F12-rc4 installed on both baremetal and as qemu-kvm guests.
During bootup on the baremetal systems, I get a gui with a large
light-blue screen and a "balloon" which slowly fills and the turns into a
stylized "f" before displaying thr GDM login screen.
During bootup on the qemu-kvm guests, I get a blue/white bar working its
way across the bottom of the screen until it turns into the gdm login
screen.
On shutdown for the qemu-kvm guests, I get a black screen with white text
in the center saying "shutdown in progress" or words to that effect.
On shutdown on the baremetal systems, I get a black scrren with a cursor
in the upper left corner.
At one point during the F12 development process, I did get a shutdown
screen on at least one baremetal system which looked a bit like the
bootup screen.
What should I be seeing? Is there a bug here?
You should be seing what you are seeing in the kvm guest, but on the
bare metal system you should
see a graphical shutdown splash. It's broken right now though. Not
sure why yet, I need to debug it.
