Does plymouth still require kms? If it does, I don't think it will be such a great idea to do away with bootsplash, and require people with nvidia cards to boot in text mode.
That should be a relevant question to Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and other users who have nvidia and have plymouth available for years.
Yes it would. The nvidia binary driver doesn't support kms and every doc for plymouth I have found says it requires kms or will drop to text booting
Nice, maybe you should take the KMS issue to nvidia and not here? Wouldn't that probably help? but for your information in case you missed it, people are using plymouth with nvidia proprietary drivers on others distro's as well. So the driver doesn't support KMS... nice! You can still use the vga=0x$$$ (which you already use in openSUSE for bootsplash) and it works fine. You get a single mode change... is that so much of a problem to bash down one of the most requested features for openSUSE ? If you are not part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem.
If we can make the installer clever enough to detect when plymouth will fail, and use bootsplash then, it might work, but dropping bootsplash completely I think would be a major mistake
Plymouht doesn't fail.
That is impressive then. It would make it the first non-trivial program in the history of mankind. Some sort of award would be in order
Keep the sarcasm for yourself, it hasn't failed me a single time on Fedora or openSUSE (yes I did had it working on openSUSE since the 11.3 cycle, the only thing missing was the support for encrypted volumes).
But to me a graphical boot fails when it has to drop to text mode. Technically not a failure since it is according to spec, but tell that to a new user who looks at a system as a potential replacement for windows. Neither fedora nor debian comes even close to being candidates for that market. Ubuntu would, so I wonder if it really is default there
