package: plymouth version: 0.8.3-9.1 severity: serious # makes the package unusable or mostly so
Hi, on a current squeeze system (which was upgraded from lenny half a year ago) I purged desktop-base from lenny and then installed desktop-base 6.0.2 from sid. the plymouth package was installed at that time already. the grub2 splashscreen was updated to space fun, the gdm login not. space fun is also not available in the gdm configuration gui. plymouth was also not activated. This I filed as #606125. Then I set up plymouth following the steps in /usr/share/doc/plymouth/README.Debian, first with enabling KMS, then without. The result was in both cases the same: on boot, I had to press enter 3 times, for each runlevel change (S,2,5). As this is hardly usable, I've removed plymouth again, and I got a boot without having to press enter... Boot options are "quiet splash". # lspci -nn|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] [1002:4c66] (rev 02) ii desktop-base 6.0.2 ii gdm 2.20.11-2 ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 ii plymouth 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-all 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-fade-in 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-glow 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-script 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-solar 0.8.3-9.1 ii plymouth-themes-spinfinity 0.8.3-9.1 cheers, Holger
