[Bug 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
Unfortunately the latest plymouth still does not work for me. Here's what I see with --verbose: 4.1 - local-bottom and init-bottom begin and end 4.2 - forcedeth on ifname, highdma A bunch of init lines from mountall, hostname, plymouth, hwclock, ureadahead, with the last two: init: plymouth state changed from post-start to running init: Handling started event 6.8 - adding swap 7.3 EXT3 FS on sdb1 7.4 EXT4 FS on sde1 7.5 EXT4 FS on sdb3 8.2 EXT4 FS on sdc4 8.3 EXT3 FS on sdc1 8.7 EXT3 FS on sdc2 8.8 SCSI bus initialization 33.9 EXT4 FS on sda1 82.5 EXT3 FS on sdb2 After that, no more lines. Note the giant amount of time after the SCSI bus initialization and sda1, sdb2 being initialized. I don't recall where these are physically, but all of my drives are SATA, so I don't think anything special is happening. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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

AGH, some bright spark has now made pretty much everything a dependency of plymouth. It's no longer possible to remove it without destroying the system (removing xserver-xorg, e2fsprogs, util-linux, hostname, upstart).

To try to workaround this, I renamed /etc/init/plymouth*.conf since those are the files that are actually run. Now the system gets into a loop on startup and then appears to timeout: mountall: Skipping mounting /proc/bus/usb since Plymouth is not available It does not seem that this is a valid dependency. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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

Ignore that last comment - it was tangential to this main issue (a line in fstab that I commented out). I also encountered #545536.

Reuben, Please expand on unavailable. Does Alt+F1 cause the screen to go blank? What do you see on the screen before pressing Alt+F1? Does adding the 'nomodeset' boot option change anything? Do you see any output at all on the screen when booting without 'quiet' and 'splash' options? -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
Unavailable meaning that the keys don't work - it stays on the same terminal. Nomodeset made no difference - I'd tried that while initially debugging. Without quiet and splash, I see init-bottom run, and then the udev disk output as described in 552088. After that there's no more output. The terminal responds to shift page up / page down, and the alt sysrq keys. I've left it at that state for 90 minutes to see if it was temporarily blocked on something, but without any difference. If I run with init=/bin/bash, I see the same output, and then get a bash prompt as expected. Are you looking for anything in particular? I can't capture what's logged (AFAIK) but I can hunt through the log messages if you like. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
I dont know if this helps but the output to the screen is not totally frozen as i can see usb messages by plugging/unplugging usb devices. Actually I can always see an error message from a previous usb keyboard initialization which was timed out, so it appears 11 s later. after the init-bottom done message. So apparently we are still on the console screen. BTW after the done message the hard drive still works hard for a good time ( 10s) and then stops any activity. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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

Please try booting without quiet and splash, and with '--verbose' added to the options.

As i had noticed I didn't have a tty0 in event.d (as i have been upgrading since 6.04), tried to install Plymouth back. In the process version 0.8.1-3 was available to upgrade. I did it and now it works. Tx. Will close the bug if Reuben confirms also. BTW, should I left created a tty0 anyway ?

[Bug 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
Thanks. Could I also ask if it is normal that when I first booted with the new Plymouth version the splash screen appeared for a relatively good time ( i could see the dots move) but when I rebooted many times since it only appears very late just before gdm login screen ? I ve read a few posts telling the same and would like to know if this behavior is just normal beta tweaking. The funny thing though as I said is that on the first run it was quite ok.

[Bug 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
The amount of time that the splash screen stays on the screen depends on a number of things, including whether any of your filesystems had to be fscked. bug #540801 has more information about this problem in general. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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 552046] Re: Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken
There's not nearly enough information here to debug this. plymouth does not break the boot for the vast majority of beta users. What version of plymouth did you have installed? What options are you using when booting? If you use Alt+Fn keys at the time the boot stops, does this work and is there any relevant information on the other VTs? ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 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

See the bug marked duplicate and the ubuntu forums thread for some me toos. For me, it was the most up to date plymouth version (as of this morning) in the main lucid repository. Using any of the kernels as set up by default caused the issue.

Well Steve, first thanks for the attention. You all seem to confirm we were right to maintain as a bug since this is not happening to a majority of users and could remain unnoticed. Sorry if we lack more info but we were already quite lucky to bypass the issue and be able to pinpoint on plymouth. AFAIC I ve made on Monday/Tuesday (2 days ago) a totally clean upgrade from 9.10 using update-manager -d, downloaded 1,7 G and restarted. After i could init with bin/bash and network with dhclient eth0, i could do another apt-get dist-upgrade which download another 178 M (despite my really fresh upgrade), which included an update to plymouth as i could notice. So i guess i have really the lastest plymouth version. Alt-Fn wont work. Vanilla kernel options (tried xvesaforce, nodmraid, nomodeset, noapic etc... at first to no avail so i was back to standard options, especially no vga option whatsoever ).
