Am I correct in assuming that the Plymouth builds in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tittiatcoke/KDE_Release_48_o penSUSE_12.1/ are the same? (as in can I test on my 12.1 install as well?)

Disregard the remark about KDM in my previous email. As that KR48 contains the same packages as in KDF and in Factory, KDM from my repo is also usable :-) Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, standard KDM does not support Plymouth and therefore you have now that Plymouth remains active on vt7 and KDM is pushed to take vt8. Which openSUSE version are you running ? You could try to see if you could only upgrade KDM from my repo and ignore the dependency errors. That would give you KDM 4.8 with plymouth support.

Hi Patrick,

12.2-factory, and up-to-date atm

If you have an up-to-date factory system, then your KDM should have version 4.8.0-1.1-... and not 4.7.2. Unless you are using KR47 as KDE repo.

...

you are saying I should: zypper -v dup --from home_tittiatcoke ??

Don't run that zypper. This would overwrite also your kdebase4-workspace packages and if you are indeed using KR47, this could have quite some consequences. What I was proposing is that you could try to use ONLY the KDM package from my repository. Don't install any other KDE packages from there, but see if you get a working whole if you ignore the dependencies issues that pops up when you try to install KDM.

no, but *after* booting into rl3 it shows via zypper ps

Ok, this can be correct. KDM will only start in runlevel 5 and KDM is taking care of stopping Plymouth. I have to check with Frederic Crozat to see if I can put something specific for rl3. But why are you booting into rl3 and not in multi-user or rl5 ?

last boot (cold) X went to vt8 and plymouth is not *now* active.

And plymouth was running on vt7 and KDM became active on vt8 ? Was this a direct boot into rl5 ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Something (?) has changed. Now hot/cold/3/5 make no difference, X starts always in vt7, postfix is starting in rl3, and zypper ps shows nothing. The only thing I see is that a boot to rl 3 does not give you a log-in prompt and leaves the screen at tty7. But an <enter> provides the log-in prompt and puts you in tty1. good job.

I checked systemctl and the following shows up:

plymouth-start.service loaded failed failed Show Plymouth Boot Screen

And ? Did it fail for you ? The reason why systemd shows that it fails is that the startup script never ends and suddenly Plymouth gets the signal to quit from KDM/GDM/... . Another service that shows the same is NetworkManager- wait-online.service. But did Plymouth work for you ?

Hi Roman,

Plymouth failed. No graphics. Just text showing the initial start of the boot process. Then a blinking cursor moved to the top left corner of the screen.

The screen stayed black until the upstream kdm theme appeared.

After double checking again it seems that these proprietary drivers would require the vga=xxxx kernel option. This as they do not offer KMS support. I have updated the wiki with this information and I would appreciate it if you could test it again with the vga=xxxx (with the correct number for your display) and let us know the result.

This could be why we're not seeing Plymouth due to scriplet failure.

It seemed that an environment variable was set to the wrong directory. This should be corrected now and would be available with a new build.

This is however a different error and is not related to plymouth. This was already reported on the mailinglist before with sed generating the issue. Robert Schweikert replied last Thursday with a work-around :

Edit /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-prepare.sh and on line 156 add

,usr/bin,usr/sbin

into the {}

Also see https://gitorious.org/opensuse/mkinitrd/merge_requests/5

sed moved to /usr/bin and since the directory is not yet created your initrd has /usr/bin file that is actually sed rather than having /usr/bin/sed

For you this could be indeed the case, however it still remains that when using proprietary video drivers the vga parameter should be indicated on the kernel options line in grub.

So far you are the only one who reported this issue with Plymouth, so I am not sure who the we is that you are indicating.

Raymond,

Sorry for jacking the thread, but would it somehow be possible to test plymouth on 12.1 ? The last snapshot of Factory has a few issues with my BIOS during the boot loader install.

NM

Hi Nelson,

No problem :-)  In my home repo I am also building plymouth packages for 12.1 based on the KR48 or KDF. If you are using Gnome, then either one should do :-)

Nice, gonna give it a go now. Did you documented this somewhere besides the mailing lists? Yes, I will be using GDM with it. By the way thanks for picking plymouth up, for me it does bring a lot of value to openSUSE and I believe that for a good part of the people out there it will as well. NM
