The regression is caring so much about the stupid screen switching modes a couple times during boot that you let it screw up booting or make booting more fragile. Not opensuse but you should see my Vaio P running Lubuntu 13.10 these days. Between grub2 and plymouth It's worse these days than it ever was. It's laughable. The screen switches several times and most of those times the screen is either useless blank black, or a repeating scrambled graphics glitch pattern until the display manager finally comes on. It's like a ColecoVision game console with a dead cartridge. 1983 at it's best. Don't talk to me about regression. -- bkw -----Original Message----- From: "Ludwig Nussel" <ludwig.nussel@suse.de> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 7:21am To: opensuse-factory@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-factory] Going forward with Plymouth (based on dracut changes) Jeff Mahoney wrote:

- Drop plymouth from initrd and start plymouth from disk after password, etc have been required. This would then be the task for systemd, which already has this support. Would be perfect, also for encrypted server where you mainly doesn't need fancy boot graphics.
I think this is the worst of the three options. Everyone else is trying to go for a completely seamless boot process where you don't notice transitions between states. This would be a regression.
This is the behavior we get in 13.1 btw due to plymouth failing to provide the passphrase for unknown reasons. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
