--- Begin Message ---Package: plymouth Version: 0.8.3-18+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable To use plymouth, uvesafb must be used on many systems, including kvm virtual machines. (Other options are nievida or amd graphics cards, I think.) However, with linux-2.6 2.6.39-{1,2} the system will not boot up any longer, after grub: http://oi51.tinypic.com/33utjyu.jpg waldi says to take this up with the plymouth maintainer because “.39 works” and “no graphics-stuff in initramfs”. With 2.6.38-2 I see the rocket just fine, even though it took me about one and a half hour to get it initially set up, which in itself is already… too much. The existence of an animated boot screen is an important criterium to many, including the desktops we use at work, which currently are using that kubuntu 8.04 thing but scheduled to be replaced with proper Debian soon. (spacefun serves as proof it works, for now.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh Versions of packages plymouth depends on: ii initramfs-tools 0.99 tools for generating an initramfs ii libc6 2.13-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib plymouth recommends no packages. plymouth suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf changed: [Daemon] Theme=spacefun -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Hi, closing the plymouth bug. This appears to be a problem in uvesafb, as this happened to a coworker too, who I migrated from fgrlx (plus uvesafb for the bootsplash) to radeon now, and who’s happy to have the spacefun back now. bye, //mirabilos -- “Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.” -- Edward Burr
