[Bug 535108] Re: Hide console messages while Plymouth is running
Same here, I needed the FRAMEBUFFER=y workaround. Not that kubuntu-desktop _is_ installed here, but cryptsetup is not. Meaning: if you don't know about the workaround, you won't get the splash screen. Is this a packaging issue?

Ricardo, Please file a separate bug report for the problem you still see with 0.8.1-1. (BTW, the "ugliness" of the logo on shutdown just means that you're using the VGA16 framebuffer driver because there's no better kernel driver available for your video card - or because you're using the binary nvidia driver.)

[Bug 535108] Re: Hide console messages while Plymouth is running
This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.1-1 --- plymouth (0.8.1-1) lucid; urgency=low [ Scott James Remnant ] * Update to the upstream 0.8.1 release: - Our patches have been merged upstream, some changes due to cleaning them up for submission and noticing a few bugs along the way. Remaining changes are: + ubuntu-logo theme + ubuntu version of the text theme + call update-initramfs rather than plymouth-update-initrd in plymouth-set-default-theme + filter fsck progress updates from the progress bar tracker + watch for enter key press + support lbm-nouveau as an alternate driver name for nouveau to permit backports once Lucid has released + use /dev/fb0 as default framebuffer device name + stop animation of script plugin in idle function - Will become process group leader of its VT if possible (opens without O_NOCTTY when redirecting stdio to it), this is almost certainly correct keyboard-wise. - Deallocates VT on "plymouth quit" after switching VT back to VT1 - Open terminal in text and details plugin, don't assume it's already open. - Calling "plymouth quit" or "plymouth deactivate" while the same command is already running will now block the new command until the old one complete, rather than returning immediately. - Various window fixes for script plugin - Script plugin updated to use the window X and Y offsets every time - Plymouth client tool has been updated to have commands for many cases in preference to the --command style. * Restored code to disable Plymouth's graphical plugins when an alternate init= is given on the kernel command-line, otherwise init=/bin/bash doesn't work so well when Plymouth is in the initramfs. * Restored crash handler that dumps boot messages to /dev/tty1. * Split themes out into different packages, reducing the size of the Plymouth package. This also means that you can remove the themes packages to remove the "graphical splash" part of Plymouth while keeping the ability to prompt for questions on the console. * Use the alternatives system to select the default themes. The existing symlink will be replaced on upgrade if you have not changed it. * Also use alternatives to select the text theme. * Restore the upstream text theme, renaming ours to "ubuntu-text". * Fallback to the built-in details theme (boot messages on console, but with the ability to prompt for questions) if no theme package is installed. (LP: #507238) Unfortunately these changes mean that if you've selected a custom theme, you will need to install that package and select it again. Sorry about that. * Include the 16-color VGA frame-buffer renderer. LP: #526892. * Fix text, ubuntu-text and details themes to restore the console to text mode when adding text displays. * debian/rules: - Set default tty for boot and shutdown with configure arguments - Set default background color to the Ubuntu Aubergine, this provides some consistency with other default themes. * debian/plymouth.upstart, debian/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/plymouth: - Redirect console output to Plymouth, this will be both logged and made available to splash themes that want it (details by default). LP: #535108. * debian/plymouth.upstart, debian/plymouth.plymouth-splash.upstart: - Call show-splash from the plymouth script itself in the shutdown case. * ubuntu-logo theme: - Update in same manner as script has been to add Window.GetX() to math that centers things. [ Steve Langasek ] * ubuntu-logo theme: - fix the password prompt handling so the display of boot messages is restored after the passphrase has been entered, and subsequent password requests don't incorrectly reuse the previous prompt. LP: #515822 - turn the message_notification[0].y check right-way-round in password_dialogue_setup(), though this doesn't seem to have any practical impact. - pass logo.z to the SetZ() function, not the SetY() one; thanks to Vishal Rao for this catch. LP: #542458. - refactor get_message_label: the y position of the second line shouldn't vary according to its own height. This brings the passphrase prompts from cryptsetup back up to where they should be. LP: #539723. * Turn tracing on post-beta. * src/main.c: when the user presses enter, compare the keystroke lists to the enter key, not to some previously-typed string that we may or may not have. -- Scott James RemnantFri, 26 Mar 2010 18:52:37 + ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- Hide console messages while Plymouth is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubu

I did a few tests with Lucid beta running on VMWare. The videos of the startup sequence are attached. Please play them in vlc, mplayer plays them way to fast. In each case you can disregard the green screen and the VMWare logo. They seems to be specific to VMWare. Test 1. The splash file as described in #18 is present, the system performs an fsck: Ugly message all over the place, the message about the disk check is flickering, no indication about the progress as we used to have. Test 2. The splash file as described in #18 is not present, the system performs an fsck: Again, the messages are flickering. On a physical machine it's less apparent, but still noticeable. Test 3. The splash file as described in #18 is not present, the system has an encrypted disc and has to ask for a password: Messages all over the place. I'm not impressed by plymouth.

You can enable this without installing cryptsetup by: echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash update-initramfs -u The longer-term plan I think, if it works, is to try and early-load udev and the graphics drivers if we can get away with it - so there isn't the black screen gap -- Hide console messages while Plymouth is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 535108] Re: Hide console messages while Plymouth is running
Yes, I have the same problem on all my systems but there is an easy workaround. Afaik the problem is that the initramfs scripts only put Plymouth and obviously kms in the initrd if cryptsetup is installed to ask for the password with a proper screen. So if you install cryptsetup everything looks great and professional and kms is run directly after grub. If it isn't installed you first get the standard resolution, some flickering and often some fsck messages before KMS and Plymouth start. I think that they do it because of the boot startup time but I personally would have no problem to loose 2 seconds or something like that if it looks more professional. Atm the boot experience doesn't look so well so I would put Plymouth (and KMS) in initrd all the time. With it the boot looks like on MacOsX or something like that. -- Hide console messages while Plymouth is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
