Public bug reported: There might be race condition between plymouth-splash and plymouth-stop.
Normally the calling sequence should be: plymouth ... plymouth-splash ... plymouth-stop On the fail unit it looks like: plymouth ... plymouth-stop ... plymouth-splash Therefore the splash screen can't be displayed. The timing that plymouth-splash would be executed relies on these conditions: (ref: /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf) 1) plymouth should be executed and, 2) graphics-device-added or drm-device-added event has been emitted. Condition 1 is always satisfied, so the possible reason of why plymouth- splash is not executed might be the graphic takes too many time to initial. ** Affects: oem-priority Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: plymouth Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: plymouth Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => oem-priority ** Tags removed: oem-priority -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293906 Title: plymouth-splash can't be displayed due to race condition with plymouth-stop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1293906/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
