Hi:
Today I looked into Plymouth and got it somehow working quickly, I want to propose the inclusion of this replacement of bootsplash, under the following constrains:
- It will be only supported when running in conjunction with systemd. (it has native integration with it)
- Users are free to package or create their own themes, but we provide only ONE theme, consistent "looking" between desktops whatever the openSUSE artwork theme decides.
Steps:
- enable building of systemd-plymouth package, actually changing %build_plymouth variable in systemd.spec
- Take a look to the initrd related code, as well as "cryptsetup" integration that looks somewhat strange currently.
- Install "bootsplash" only with legacy sysvinit.
That's all for now.
If we start (restart) that way, think also to remove all kind of fancy other splash we have like the hard dependency in suspend. - be sure it offer a password prompt to unlock full encrypted system with the correct keyboard layout - be sure to include in openQA specific tests for it (including suspend ram, disk and wake up serveral times) - be sure to have a nice and clean description how to manage the artwork nicely & quickly - be sure to have a clean explanation for those who will use openSUSE in server world If it's able to support the native resolution nvidia offer (in my case 0x34d) then everything will just goes fine :D I remember that plymouth need some (heavy?) patches for gdm,kdm,ldm,xdm,lightDM? what the situation actually? Is it cleanly integrated upstream already, or all distribution come with their own wagon of patches (would be bad) ? I've also heard a lot that our mkinitrd should be move to drakut to have a nice integration in plymouth, then creating another not yet ready for openSUSE brick in the puzzle. Oh last point : make it a reality before M3, and not between RC1 & RC2! -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
