Thanks Steve for taking the time to explain. This is exactly it - people think that plymouth is only "annoying graphical stuff" without realizing that upstart is replacing the System-V init entirely - already has for the symlinks in /etc/init.d. And the way upstart communicates with the display (text or graphical - does not matter) is through plymouth. Which is why if you do a hacked removal of plymouth, upstart jobs don't show up on the boot messages - only the old System-V jobs do.
I have only ubuntu servers here but will take a look at desktop this week. If desktop has a progress bar during fscks, then I guess one approach might be to merge that with details so that we can toggle between them using <esc>? I don't think anybody would mind that much, so long as we have at least some way to get the progress info (graphical or otherwise). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765735 Title: mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/765735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
