Hi Listmates, It has been a while since the last status update around Plymouth and it's usability, but during this period we have been working hard to get the issues resolved. At the moment we have the latest version of Plymouth (0.8.4) in openSUSE:Factory, which resolves the issue with not showing a splash upon shutdown/reboot. This package should also take care of any necessary changes to the kernel option line in both grub and grub2. With the help of Bruno (tigerfoot) we managed to tackle the support for LUKS and now we have a nice plymouth dialog box asking for the passphrase. Unfortunately without any text as that the openSUSE initrd does not contain any fonts, etc. I am still looking into this to get at least some basic support. The cryptsetup package was updated with the necessary changes and was submitted to it's devel project (security). I would like to ask those in charge of that repo to have a look at my SR (#112036) and if accepted to forward it Factory so that we have the latest Plymouth status in Factory. The only package remaining is suspend to get plymouth support during suspend to disk. I have this package ready with the necessary patch, but at the moment it either supports bootsplash or plymouth. The wiki page around plymouth has been updated with this latest status and I would like anybody interested in plymouth to test the packages and report any issues on either the wiki-page or through bugzilla. Once the packages are confirmed to be working in all situations we can start with the artwork and to initiate the discussion whether to make plymouth default or not for 12.2 Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
