[Bug 1180195] New: emergency console: not installed plymouth results in inappropriate error message obfuscating genuine errors reported by journalctl -xb
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1180195 Bug ID: 1180195 Summary: emergency console: not installed plymouth results in inappropriate error message obfuscating genuine errors reported by journalctl -xb Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: mrmazda@earthlink.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Original summary: emergency console: not installed plymouth results in inappropriate error message obfuscating genuine errors reported by journalctl -xb Emergency session log ought not be obfuscating genuine errors by reporting error in an optional service that is purposely not installed. The following is the final message in the journal after a required filesystem failed to mount: "Subject: Process /usr/bin/plymouth could not be executed Defined-By: systemd Support: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel The process /usr/bin/plymouth could not be executed and failed. The error number returned by this process is ERRNO." Yet, there are, and never were, any plymou* rpms installed.

This was ~3 weeks ago, so I don't remember which PC this happened on. What I do remember is that fstab needed an update on account of a partitioning alteration, and I made a typo that made the root filesystem unavailable. That is what lead to the emergency console. At least one error scrolled offscreen before I could digest it, in part because the scrollback buffer disappeared after kernel 5.7, and in part because of all the useless error lines about Plymouth, which I have installed on zero of my 40+ TW installations, in addition to zero on more than double that number of Leap installations, most by selecting to taboo Plymouth at installation time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
