[opensuse-factory] Next snapshot with updated systemd and plymouth
Hi all, openqa seems to be quite satisfied with the new snapshot. On a local test, however, I still get no password prompt in my setup. So will live with plymouth.enable=0 as boot parameter. Cheers, Robby. --

Thanks. (And, yes, I saw your other message). I think I'll just keep "nosplash" anyway. Plymouth hasn't been working well (I get the text most splash screen around 60% of the time). It looks as if plymouth is still handling the crypto, even with "nosplash". Or, at least, I am only prompted once even though I have two LUKS partitions with the same key.

"nosplash"=""="splash=0" IOW, default splash is null. Splash is an optional addon. You need splash to get splash. You need nothing to not get splash. All that said, Plymouth is a relatively youthful alternative to a very ancient Linux boot splash, and I don't know that nosplash or splash=0 do not or cannot function as a Plymouth disabler if Plymouth is installed.

Yes, "nosplash" does disable showing the plymouth splash. But perhaps plymouth still runs without showing any splash. In any case, I have no uninstalled plymouth, and tabooed it so that it won't reinstall. The "initrd" is rebuilt. Everything is still working well. I have two LUKS partitions with the same key. I am still only prompted once for that key. So possibly "systemd" is now handling the reuse of the provided key. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

To see for yourself whether the nosplash parameter actually does anything when Plymouth is not installed, boot once with everything stripped from the kernel cmdline. I expect you'll end up with "white" text characters on black background on your vtty1 init screen in your display's native resolution, 240 columns by 67 rows if on a 1920x1080 screen. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Correct. To completely prevent plymouth from loading use plymouth.enable=0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I filed a report on this on my desktop installation last November. Then uninstalled plymouth as a dirty workaround. The new update seems to have installed plymouth on my desktop, which works as expected, and yet the plymouth instance on my laptop which has been working flawlessly for some time is now the one experiencing this issue.

Hello all, I've been using Tumbleweed since it was announced, and I think this is the first time I was left with an un-bootable system. I was getting a blinking cursor and no way to go further. Disabling plymouth didn't work, uninstalling it (via a rescue system) didn't work. In fact when I tried the latest Tumbleweed rescue system, even that refused to boot, it was showing the same issue, where I would end up with a blinking cursor and nothing else. Finally what seems to have worked for me is this advice: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1669249#p1669249 The partition names (not labels) on my disk were garbage characters. After fixing that using the 'name' command in 'parted' everything seems to be working. On 01/31/2017 01:56 AM, jeroenmathonmac@gmail.com wrote:

Ok I think you've been hit by: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4747 I don't think that the problem was about "garbage" characters but rather than the resulting device name was exceeding the limit for unit name length. I'll include the fix for the next update. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I can't be entirely certain, but I strongly believe that it was because I used a tool called gptgen (I think) to convert my old MBR disk to GPT without data loss. I think this is the case because only older partitions from before the conversion seem to have this issue.
The bug does seem to describe the issue I faced. In my case though, all the disk labels were fine, it's the partition names that were invalid. Thanks for including the fix!
