: Hi Nelson,
Doesn't plymouthd supports a '--tty' argument ?
Well it does. However it seems that for openSUSE we need to follow a little different specification for the argument. During the build process you can indicate which tty's to use for boot and shutdown. It should be enough to just use tty1 or tty7. However this results in the text mode boot that I indicated in my email.
Today I got a step closer as that it seems that I need to specify the full patch (/dev/ttyX). With this I have now plymouth running on tty7 (and of course also the Graphical session). I still have to test what effect this will have on the transistion from GRUB to Plymouth, but at least we can now choose on which tty plymouth should run.
At the moment I see two outstanding issues which would prevent switching to Plymouth (besides the necessary Artwork). The first issue would be with encrypted disks. Plymouth comes to the point to ask the passphrase, but something goes wrong here. Currently I am trying to patch cryptsetup to have a kind of plymouth support here.
Please check this from Jeff's repo, I think he has sorted this in the past:
boot.crypto-plymouth
Hope it helps, a lot of work has been done by Jeff on the past, maybe some of the answers for what you need are there ;)

The second issue is with suspend/hibernate. As was indicated already at the beginning, these two rely on splashy for their splashscreen. With the help of Frederic Crozat, we have now a patch for suspend which should bring us plymouth support for suspend/hibernate. I still need to test this.
So it seems that every day we are getting closer and closer to a situation where I can submit the changes to Factory to enable Plymouth support.
Regards
Raymond

I would like to test Plymouth with Milestone 1. Which packages should be desinstalled before installing Plymouth? -- Cheers!
