Just to be mention .. there is blog and blog-plymouth to replace plymouth which then give a text based boot screen on the monitor as well as on any attached other (serial) console.
you made my day! Thanks a lot! Finally got rid of plymouth ;-)
AFAIK you don't like plymouth, too. I had so far locked its installation, but using blog-plymouth, locks are no more needed. In case you have that stuff still installed, just
zypper rm -u plymouth
# zypper --no-refresh se -s -i mouth | egrep -v 'debug|devel|srcp|openSUSE-20' | egrep 'x86|noarch'| sort -f # grep N_ID /etc/os-release VERSION_ID="20241129"# #
Then
zypper in blog-plymouth
In case you need it on very ancient systems which don't provide blog{,-plymouth} on their own, I'd suggest to branch
and build it for those ancient systems yourself.
No need for any locks, and plymouth won't get in your way anymore ;-)
What does blog-plymouth provide that I might have any use for? I don't use VMs except for DOS on OS/2.
It helps to reduce the number of locks against "recommended" packages ;-) Cheers. l8er manfred
