[Bug 801872] New: plymouth: bootsplash switches languages
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801872 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801872#c0 Summary: plymouth: bootsplash switches languages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 12.3 Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: tittiatcoke@gmail.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Blocker: --- (using up-to-date Factory version) It looks like someone built a language course into plymouth ;-) At the beginning of the boot process, it shows Loading system... Later it switches to german: Computer startet... and when I'm asked to enter the passphrase for my encrypted /home, it switches to french(?): Chargement du système... I have set the system language to german, so I'd expect to see "Computer startet..." all the time. The english text at the beginning might be caused by the initrd not knowing the language settings, but I have no idea why it switches to french later... /etc/sysconfig/language contains (comments removed): INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="de_DE@euro" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="de_DE" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is the new 12.3 bootsplash that cycles through 5 languages (English, German, French, Italian and Russian). Plymouth itself is completely unaware of what type of language the user has set and as you have noticed the request to enter your password for the your encrypted home is in English. Closing this bug as invalid. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Are you telling me that the language selection in plymouth is basically based on /dev/random? If yes, this is confusing IMHO ("why does my system boot in russian today?!?"). I'd suggest to stick with english - or change plymouth so that it uses the language the user has selected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

These 5 images contains Booting System in 5 languages. It has absolutely nothing to do with the language in which the system boots. It is just a graphical theme. Plymouth doesn't do anything else then just to display images on a bootsplash. No, This theme is not going to be changed unless it is done by the artwork team. If you don't like it, I would suggest to imagination to work and create a new plymouth bootsplash and submit that one to the artwork team. Again this is NOT A BUG !!!. It would be impossible to create a bootsplash theme that everybody likes, so this is the current 12.3 bootsplash theme. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
