Using plymouth during hibernation
Plymouth is currently used by Fedora during boot-up and shut-down. But during hibernation, the screen turns blank to a terminal, often showing warning messages that make no sense. Also, when hibernating or resuming from hibernation, it gives no indication of how much the task has progressed. Can Plymouth be modified so that it shows up during hibernation and wake-up too? In that case, can anyone guide me on how to do it? I am ready to do the coding, but may need some guidance here and there.

Well then, there's the first step defined :-) OP: Looks like you'll need to modify the kernel as well as Plymouth! (It can't is rarely the full answer when you have the source code for everything; It's way more work than anyone's been willing to do so far, especially for that level of benefit is usually the long version.) -Chris -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
