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.
Congrats for your work.
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.
Don't bother supporting text for cryptsetup in initrd plymouth : it won't work because you would need to pull pango and so on in initrd, which make it huge. Best would be to have a different splash (usually with a lock before the text field).
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.
You mean it can't support both at the same time ? I don't remember
exactly if my patch was supposed to support both or just one. I guess we
could rework to support both.
