Hi all,
Has anyone noticed that the new Plymouth bootsplash work under nouveau only? After I installed the nvidia drivers, the three little squares reappeared in the center of the screen during boot up.
The Nvidia drivers are working fine with Plymouth in openSUSE Leap 42.3. I can see Plymouth bootsplash but not in Leap 15 and Tumbleweed.
Looks like nouveau provides that nvidia doesn't.
Any thoughts?
has been discussed, but I don't recall the result. I disable plymouth but have seen both the three ... and the splash screen using NVidia....run drivers.
so I disagree that nouveau provides THIS and nvidia does not. nouveau definitely cannot provide display resolution sufficient for me to process my photographs. nvidia does.
I have disabled plymouth on TW due to boo#1047225.

Better safe than sorry. Feel free to enable it again manually, if you don't use LUKS.
This has been a known issue for a long time with nvidia drivers and plymouth. It's related to how nvidia fakes kms support, if I remember rightly.
NVidia was working in earlier releases? Yet it stopped working in the first quarter of 2016. Michael Chang created a patch in the last week of May 2016 for Grub2. There was a patch for 13.2, 42.2. 42.3 and Tumbleweed. It worked for me up until December 2017. Perhaps this is a kernel issue, and a grub2/dracut issue. The grub2 patch that was issued allowed me to see Plymouth when openSUSE was booted from a second drive. I was able to enable the Plymouth bootsplash by adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep" to /etc/default/grub and then ran: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg I also ran mkinitrd to add the image to intrd. Now the problem wasn't festering in grub2 but other programs. I read that SuSE was working on adding it to the kernel but the project was abandoned. Cheers!
