1) Yes I have noticed this and I think it has something to do with plymouth. I'm looking into it now ;.)
2) Could do ? Not really considered this but it sounds like a good idea !!
3) May be due to the added security features of linuxcoin ? I will take a look later.
4) Umm it was tested ? What exactly is happening your end ?
Thanks for reporting these issues guys. I'll keep you updated as usual
1) thank you
2) just a thought
3) no worries I can adjust
4) I have spoken with the SmartCoin Author an it appears that there is a specific process to set it up
a) sudo su
b) svn update
c) bash ./smartcoin_install.sh
d) smartcoin needs to be run as rot due to added security ( so far I have only been able to get it to work by launching it from xwindows )
