For Lucid Server edition we "disabled" Plymouth by removing the /etc/init/plymouth*.conf scripts. That and some other changes resulted in a nicer console for servers: http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts /Ubuntu-Lucid-server-disable-plymouth/ In the post is our list of packages that apt reports "depend" on Plymouth. The list of packages is nonsensical.
Pragmatically, Plymouth needs a different default configuration for server releases. An aside, my wife's Lucid workstation boots up screamingly fast now with the upstart/Plymouth combo. -- Remove plymouth destroying system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531331 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
