Comment 24 for bug 1350598

Saying that the update “may take several minutes” is, I think, probably not an effective solution to the problem of people powering off the phone because it looks like it’s stuck. It doesn’t matter how long they expect it to take: if nothing on the screen is changing, it would still look like it’s stuck.

I don’t know why Plymouth can show changing text but the Ubuntu Touch startup screen can’t, but if that will continue to be the case, I guess fixing bug 1385410 is the only way to provide the necessary reassurance.
