Ohh, there are more than that one. I remember, that I also commented on one of these: no graphical input, instead textmode input is shown. The question is, whether these are indeed related... This time, no imput is shown at all (here in approx. 20% of the reboots).
Hi,
given the endless number of bugs we see with plymouth I think we should just drop it.
How about trying to work with upstream on fixing the issues ?
Fabian has been very active in the last couple days to sort out some things in our plymouth package - to the biggest surprise, almost all hist fixes were 'drop an openSUSE patch here and there'. Seems quite some patches are just not up-do the task there. From hearing around, it seems Fedora is not struggling that much with plymouth - so either their usecases are just less critical than ours or some of our 'bugs' are not considered there . In any case, I'd say it shows once again: downstream patches are evil! Work with upstream to get our ideas merged there. Let's not develop the same applications in silos but SHARE the work. So, from my side: a total +1 to work with upstream on fixing the issues. and as for text mode (Sorry Frederic, it's out of context in this reply...): the ones that want it CAN have it - you are free to disable plymouth on your machine! But I honestly do not think that a screen full of text is very appealing to Joe Average. openSUSE has the 'name' of being a polished distro - from boot to desktop: let's keep it that way and IMPROVE on that fact, not revert to the stone ages. Cheers, Dominique
