[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing
This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.2-2ubuntu26
---
plymouth (0.8.2-2ubuntu26) oneiric; urgency=low
* Add direct dependency on ttf-dejavu-core since that's the font used in
the initramfs-tools hook, instead of trusting that fontconfig-config
pulls in the right alternative. LP: #828027.
* debian/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/plymouth: /run doesn't get
moved to ${rootmnt}/run until *after* our script has run, so don't try
to check for it before calling plymouth update-root-fs - it's not like
we would ever want to not pivot root, anyway. Fixes the fact that we
haven't been getting /var/log/boot.log for months now.
* debian/plymouth.plymouth-stop.upstart: if stopped by lightdm, let
lightdm handle the VT transition as it's able, so we get flicker-free
boot. LP: #849954.

Well, if this were in fact a question of the initramfs regeneration firing before the plymouth package was fully installed, we would need to modify the plymouth hook to detect this scenario and exit without error, also ensuring that the initramfs is regenerated again from the plymouth postinst (the latter is already done). But it doesn't sound like this is the problem you're having, so I'll not worry about it.

[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing
In our setup we use FAI for distributing our Linux. The packages (plymouth, too) are fully installed on the local system (and harddisk) with the nfsroot (which is mounted remotely). After that, the initramfs of the local system is updated. and then the local hooks are executed. And there, the font-copy fails. The font-copy will even fail after installation, as long as the font is not installed by any package. hth :) ps: what would be the different fixes? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828027 Title: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/828027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing
Ok, when you say "at the right time", what do you mean? Do you mean that the initramfs hooks were being run before the plymouth package, and all of its dependencies, were fully installed? The lack of direct dependency on the font is definitely a bug, and we'll definitely fix that - I'm just trying to make sure I understand if fixing that will actually solve the problem that you were running into. If it's a question of initramfs hooks running before the plymouth-label package is fully configured (i.e., all its dependencies installed), that would need a different sort of fix than just changing the package dependencies. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828027 Title: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/828027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing
We have plymouth-label installed, but there's a combination, which makes it a problem :-) 1. ttf-dejavu-core is only a "OR"-connection, other fonts could be installed instead, BUT 2. the dejavu-font is needed in the initramfs-hook, when you build a new version of the initramfs (look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth line 68 and 72) 3. since there's no other copied font in the hook, it is not possible to use another one :) And with our Installsetup & theme (limux) the font wasn't installed at the right time. and if it is directly used in a initramfs-hook, it is pretty important. perhaps i misunderstood some policy guidelines about ubuntu packaging, in that case, please give me a pointer :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828027 Title: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/828027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

plymouth-label depends libcairo2 libcairo2 depends libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1 depends fontconfig-config fontconfig-config depends: ttf-dejavu-core | ttf-bitstream-vera | ttf-freefont | gsfonts-x11 You're right that this does not guarantee ttf-dejavu-core is actually installed; but it will be in the default case and for all systems installed using Ubuntu media. Can you clarify how it is that you have plymouth installed without ttf-dejavu-core? Do you have one of the other fonts installed instead? ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828027 Title: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/828027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
