I really want to know a better name for this start up screen.
In earlier versions of Ubuntu we saw a some cryptic symbols that I read as "A Box of Rocks Equals a Person" . When we first see it we can press and hold the shift key and are presented with choices of kernels that can be used, as well as Advanced Options. It does not say "Press and Hold Shift For More Options"
I am now using Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, and the BoR=P symbols are replaced with "A Foot Above Three Blinkers", which seems to be functionally the same place.
What is the name of that screen?
In my current version, before I see the foot, I get two successive grey screens (the second darker than the first) that are not centered well in my monitor. At present I am calling those phases of booting "The Light Before Dawn" (which can be very brief) and "Curse the Darkness". Often CtD persists until I press POR and try again.
Does anyone have the official nomenclature for what I am describing?
Still Learning Linux,
