[Bug 263986] New: bootsplash drops from silent mode to verbose
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263986 Summary: bootsplash drops from silent mode to verbose Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nderkach@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Bootsplash temporary switches to verbose mode in two cases: during system boot - when switching to runlevel 5 before starting X, and when shutting down machine between runlevel 5 and 3 This behaviour looks ugly and damages overall look'n'feel. That's why I've marked this bug as critical. I hope this is known issue. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Dunno what happens when doing the shutdown. Marking this as "critical" is a joke, this is in no way a shipment stopper. Severity reduced to "normal". (Werner, you should reassign this to the x11 folks...) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

AFAIK the boot scripts do this in the correct way ... one reason why I always switch off the bootsplash to see what the system is doing during boot. AFAIK there are some cases which always cause a bootsplash off, a getty is starting, a boot script wants a password or passphrase (boot.crypto, boot.localfs and boot.rootfsck at failed fsck, apache, apache2, and kdump). Also if X is starting to late, e.g. after the getties are comming up one may see the real boot messages instead of the useless bootsplash. It would be very interesting to know which X server is used, e.g. which X server is to slow. Is this an original X server from the xorg-x11 packages or an X server from e.g. Nvidia or ATI which may show an other console switch behaviour. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Indeed it seems to me that it's because kdm starts to late. On the system shutdown switching from verbose mode to silent takes place. Silent mode starts just after messages:
Swithching to runlevel 6 Boot logging started

Something should be definitely done with it. If I understand correctly the problem is that gettys start earlier than Xorg and hence splash drops to verbose. A suggestion: what about if user has default runlevel 5 to ignore starting gettys and leave splash in silent mode? Of course there could be better solutions how to fix this. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
