This is harmless, because plymouth is actually started from initrd, but the apparent failure can cause confusion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot openSUSE 12.2 2. Run "systemctl status plymouth-start.service" Actual Results: plymouth-start.service - Show Plymouth Boot Screen Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service; static) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue, 18 Sep 2012 08:26:07 -0700; 2min 29s ago Process: 399 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --pid-file=/var/run/plymouth/pid --attach-to-session (code=exited, status=69) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/plymouth-start.service Expected Results: plymouth-start.service - Show Plymouth Boot Screen Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Tue, 18 Sep 2012 08:50:28 -0700; 3min 51s ago CGroup: name=systemd:/system/plymouth-start.service plymouthd is actually started from initrd, and systemd shouldn't try to start it a second time. The second attempt should be blocked by this line in /lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service: ConditionPathExists=!/var/run/plymouth/pid This doesn't work because /var/run isn't mounted at this point in the boot process. A workaround is to change the line as follows: ConditionPathExists=!/run/plymouth/pid -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
