Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
I'm not sure this belongs in plymouth since it is a "problem" with getty. When getty is run it automatically clears the screen. This is no way to turn off this behavior. It would seem to be better to control this via /etc/issue and allow the admin to put in an escape to clear the screen - this could be put in /etc/issue by default, but then allow the admin to remove it. A worse way to fix this would be to put a command line option to suppress clearing the the screen. this is somewhat necessary so that the admin can better watch the boot progress if splash is turned off - nice for servers! ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- getty forces screen clearing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668002 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
