That's impossible, unless its removal turns out to be a whole lot less destructive and more thorough than it is on Mandriva or Fedora. Nothing about Plymouth can make me happy. I'm only happy when traditional boot messages show up on tty1 same as before Plymouth and its predecessors, in the same non-GUI video mode that tty[1-6] ultimately use to print legible text.
I personally knows spyhawk, who start trying to package plymouth in openSUSE last year. There's a lot of step that need to be resolved to get it inside.
And if I am not mistaken, Jeff Mahooney has done it here: * https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajeff_mahoney%3Abetter...
First is seems to not work so well or even not at all with all proprio drivers like nvidia and fglrx.
It does work with Catalyst as long as you have the vga=0x??? entry, in Fedora and openSUSE at least (manual install).
(Can free driver compete actually : it seems not in the 3d world and accelerated needs that our 2 main desktop need like kde4x and Gnome3x ) Then it need also quite amount of patch against kdm/gdm/lightdm/xdm and those seems to be the most problematic.
GDM in openSUSE 11.4 was already patched for it if I'm not mistaken. KDM required the patch to be re-writted in a proper way because it was a nasty hack, I'm not doing it, because I don't even use the bloody thing.
In the meantime spyhawk has to change some of his priority (work mainly) but confess that was a terrible time ...
I'm not sure on the progress with Jeff, but it seems that even systemd integration is done. See above.
One day perhaps I will have the final word about this story. But the first step is to find a brave (dumb?) contributors that are able to package plymouth and then we will be able to give it a try. Best time, next week in osc11, there's several packaging workshop, and you can meet most of the key people in Nuremberg.
ps : to those who mix a bit thing, we are using bootsplash actually for the whole start/end sequence. splashy is only used and linked against the suspend things. (and yes sucks actually)
If you allow me a flame... So much care about systemd and too much focus on having a faster booting system, and you leave the crap software which takes 2 whole secs for a dumb splash ? :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
