Well, no, but it's a bug in packages like mountall an cryptsetup which DEPEND on plymouth - that's the whole point of this bug. > - is not up for debate. Oh?

Booting with "init=/bin/sh" is sufficient for a recovery system, I don't need plymouth for that. More to the point, relying on even more software for a recovery system makes no sense - if the system is heavily damaged, I should rely on as little software as possible to get it running again. A kernel and a working shell would be sufficient. With plymouth and its dependency tree this cannot be guaranteed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556372 Title: Please remove the plymouth dependency from mountall / cryptsetup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cryptsetup/+bug/556372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
