Title:
plymouth-stop.conf needs "instance" because it may need to be run
multiple times
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu quantal (12.10)"
VERSION="12.10, Quantal Quetzal"
Package: plymouth
Origin: Ubuntu
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.8.4-0ubuntu3
Currently, the init job plymouth-stop will only run once during the bootup
sequence, but in cases where the user has installed more than one display
manager, it will need to be run more than once.
Consider this example.
xdm is installed and made the default-display-manager.
plymouth-stop is called on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] (JOB is rc),
xdm runs and Xorg starts.
lightdm is then installed but xdm is left as the default-display-
manager.
plymouth-stop is now called on starting lightdm (JOB is lightdm) but
the case statement results in exit 0 with no action as lightdm is
expected to take care of stopping plymouth.
However in the lightdm init configuration file, the lightdm job stops
without doing anything because lightdm is not the default-display-
manager.
The boot sequence continues and xdm finally gets to run. plymouth is
still running and is never stopped because plymouth-stop has already
run and is only allowed to run once.
In some cases this prevents the Xorg server from starting with
"setversion 1.4 failed" and " [drm] failed to set drm interface
version, Kernel modesetting setup failed', presumably because
plymouth is hogging the virtual console on which X is to be started.
Thus the problem is rectified by allowing plymouth-stop to be run
multiple times for each display manager installed by adding the line
instance ${JOB}
to the plymouth-stop.conf file.
This may cure some bug reports that other users have reported of
plymouth not stopping when running other display managers eg slim
