Package: plymouth Version: 0.8.8-14 During startup, this output appears for the fraction of a second - after plymouth displayed the animated splash screen just like it should.
---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here . ok [FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: plymouth ... failed! ---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here This *may* be related to #632737, as I am also using lightdm. Possibly these two programs still don't play along nicely. I've tried it with plain wheezy (plymouth package version 0.8.5.1-5) first, then, as the package maintainer suggested doing so, with the later plymouth versions available in jessie/sid and experimental (apt-pinning was used so that only plymouth and its dependencies were pulled from non-wheezy sources). The bug remains present even with 0.8.8-14 from experimental, so I'm filing it against that version. Note: I'm using plymouth and lightdm within a debian-live environment, i.e. a system booted from an ISO image and loaded into RAM - just in case that makes a difference. No configuration was attempted, plymouth is running in default-after-package-install mode.
