- Install "bootsplash" only with legacy sysvinit. 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

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
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
Anders It's available but it's not the default in Ubuntu 11.10 but I've seen it in an earlier version on ARM that I can remember, may be 10.04. No
