when shutting down, text console is shown and usplash appears only later

[Emmanuel Touzery]

since gnome-session has changed to using gnome-power-manager instead of gdm to log out (at least it seems to me that's when the change occured), when shutting down the computer, instead of switching to usplash for the shutdown, the display switches to one tty (text mode, letting you enter "login" and "password" to login, with a blinking cursor, as if you hit ctrl-alt-f1), and only later switches to usplash (when the usplash progress bar is quite far) before shutdown.

before that change, when shutting down, the display was switching straight to usplash, for a much smoother experience.

looks like a gnome-power-manager issue

more information: i think that the bug appeared after that change:

or even be a duplicate. not sure. that bug mentions it doesn't use usplash AT ALL. but here i see usplash. just later than expected.

confirmed.. this is highly annoying, makes it look like your computer crashed because you dont know if its shutting down or not

I can confirm this. This happens to me too.

Confirmed. This looks unprofessional and wipes most of the icing off our cake.

Totally confirmed, and it seems that it's a duplicate of the Bug #40597.

Can anyone confirm that?

marking as duplicate of bug #35182 which has extra details about that
