Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid plymouth: Installed: 0.8.1-4ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.8.1-4ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.8.1-4ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Plymouth sees a kernel command line containing the text 'splash' anywhere in it as a request to show a splash screen. This includes a kernel command line containing "nosplash" or any other text with "splash" in it. As "nosplash" used to be a way to get rid of the accursed splash screen back in the day, it's not unheard of to see it on kernel command lines. The test in main.c:615 in the function plymouth_should_show_default_splash(state_t * state) reveals why. return strstr (state->kernel_command_line, "rhgb") != NULL || (strstr (state->kernel_command_line, "splash") != NULL && strstr(state->kernel_command_line, "splash=verbose") == NULL); the test for "splash" will match any substring. It should be checking for " splash" with a trailing space or end-of-string. Removing "nosplash" from my kernel command line got rid of the splash screen :S ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- plymouth check for "splash" in cmdline incorrectly matches "nosplash" too https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562278 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
