Public bug reported: I try to migrate to dracut, but plymouth support is broken below ubuntu. The ubuntu package of plymouth is missing the command 'plymouth-set-default-theme'. The debian packages are including this file.
As a result, dracut emits the following message root@vt-xenial-main:~ [1070] # dracut --force dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --force dracut: dracut module 'bootchart' will not be installed, because command '/sbin/bootchartd' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouth-set-default-theme' could not be found! .... If I install a backported package from debian the problem is resolved. plymouth: Installed: 0.9.2-3+~ubuntu16.04.1~c42.ppa1 Candidate: 0.9.2-3+~ubuntu16.04.1~c42.ppa1 Version table: *** 0.9.2-3+~ubuntu16.04.1~c42.ppa1 500 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/dirk-computer42/c42-backport/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main i386 Packages 0.9.2-3ubuntu13 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: plymouth 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-24.43-generic 4.4.10 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-24-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Jun 25 21:15:30 2016 DefaultPlymouth: /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-gnome-logo/ubuntu-gnome-logo.plymouth Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001 Adomax Technology Co., Ltd Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-24-generic root=UUID=9b1c6051-dd6e-4a6f-8e00-bdec9fe4cece ro ProcFB: 0 cirrusdrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-24-generic root=UUID=9b1c6051-dd6e-4a6f-8e00-bdec9fe4cece ro SourcePackage: plymouth TextPlymouth: /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-gnome-text/ubuntu-gnome-text.plymouth UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 01/01/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: Bochs dmi.bios.version: Bochs dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: Bochs dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnBochs:bvrBochs:bd01/01/2011:svnQEMU:pnStandardPC(i440FX+PIIX,1996):pvrpc-i440fx-trusty:cvnBochs:ct1:cvr: dmi.product.name: Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) dmi.product.version: pc-i440fx-trusty dmi.sys.vendor: QEMU ** Affects: dracut (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 xenial ** Also affects: dracut (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1596220 Title: plymouth-set-default-theme is missing - trigger dracut problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dracut/+bug/1596220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
