Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.4 Severity: wishlist Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.
Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users. For it to work correctly, it needs integration with the distribution. Because it starts so early, it needs to be packed into the distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution needs to poke plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing. This could be the cause of Bug #565188. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565188 --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing oktan.ls.fi.upm.es 500 testing ftp.fr.debian.org 500 karmic ppa.launchpad.net 1 experimental ftp.fr.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==================================-+-============= klibc-utils (>= 1.5.9-1) | 1.5.15-1 cpio | 2.10-1 module-init-tools | 3.12~pre1-1 udev (>= 0.086-1) | 150-2 findutils (>= 4.2.24) | 4.4.2-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed ====================================-+-=============== busybox (>= 1:1.01-3) | 1:1.14.2-2 OR busybox-initramfs | Package's Suggests field is empty. --- Output from package bug script --- -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=5f134591-8eca-4c2b-bd7e- ca80edcbad3a ro quiet -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by i915 247359 2 drm_kms_helper 18883 1 i915 drm 137190 3 i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 4225 1 i915 ppdev 5030 0 lp 7462 0 parport 27938 2 ppdev,lp sco 7193 2 bridge 39582 0 stp 1440 1 bridge bnep 9395 2 rfcomm 29501 4 l2cap 24656 16 bnep,rfcomm vboxnetflt 9978 0 vboxnetadp 4225 0 vboxdrv 1710310 2 vboxnetflt,vboxnetadp acpi_cpufreq 5555 0 cpufreq_conservative 5162 0 cpufreq_stats 2659 0 cpufreq_userspace 1992 0 cpufreq_powersave 902 0 uinput 6376 1 fuse 50078 2 loop 11767 0 btusb 9785 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek 235095 1 bluetooth 41795 9 sco,bnep,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb snd_hda_intel 18147 3 snd_hda_codec 54212 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 5364 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm_oss 32399 0 snd_mixer_oss 12606 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 60615 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss joydev 8411 0 uvcvideo 51663 0 videodev 29977 1 uvcvideo v4l1_compat 11442 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l2_compat_ioctl32 8538 1 videodev snd_seq_midi 4208 0 snd_rawmidi 15291 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 4628 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 42769 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 15502 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 4477 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq serio_raw 3752 0 acer_wmi 12640 0 lib80211_crypt_tkip 7477 0 rfkill 12996 3 bluetooth,acer_wmi snd 44718 17 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device pcspkr 1699 0 led_class 2401 1 acer_wmi soundcore 4598 1 snd psmouse 49521 0 i2c_i801 7766 0 i2c_core 15584 5 i915,drm,i2c_algo_bit,videodev,i2c_i801 evdev 7336 21 wl 1255954 0 snd_page_alloc 6217 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm lib80211 3638 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl processor 29479 3 acpi_cpufreq battery 4998 0 ac 2192 0 wmi 4307 1 acer_wmi ext4 285067 1 mbcache 4970 1 ext4 jbd2 66855 1 ext4 crc16 1319 2 l2cap,ext4 sd_mod 29673 4 crc_t10dif 1276 1 sd_mod ide_cd_mod 24744 0 cdrom 29399 1 ide_cd_mod ata_generic 2983 0 usb_storage 38585 0 uhci_hcd 18457 0 ide_pci_generic 2788 0 ata_piix 19757 3 intel_agp 25521 1 libata 131655 2 ata_generic,ata_piix ehci_hcd 30578 0 piix 4568 0 tg3 95535 0 video 17445 1 i915 output 1692 1 video agpgart 24733 2 drm,intel_agp button 4634 1 i915 scsi_mod 121909 3 sd_mod,usb_storage,libata libphy 13542 1 tg3 ide_core 76802 3 ide_cd_mod,ide_pci_generic,piix usbcore 121687 6 btusb,uvcvideo,usb_storage,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd nls_base 6377 1 usbcore thermal 11674 0 fan 3346 0 thermal_sys 11878 4 processor,video,thermal,fan -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n BOOT=local DEVICE=eth0 NFSROOT=auto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
