>From my personal POV, I consider the progress bar more important then the >ability to interrupt fsck with CTRL+C. Nowadays, SSDs are much more common and enable_periodic_fsck = 0 has been the default for many years now. So this is much less of an issue today then it was back in 2015, I think.
I think text-only boot (without plymouth and without quiet) has a reasonable enough progress report from fsck. Without fsckd, we'd have no progress report in plymouth and quiet text-only boots. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880250 Title: Ctrl-C message displayed without any actual disk check Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in plymouth source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in systemd source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in plymouth source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Groovy: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] * fsck messages is shown by plymouth, despite all fscks already completed. [Test Case] * Install Ubuntu Desktop with full disk encryption * Observe that fsck messages (press ctrl+c) is shown, and remains there on screen for a little while as plymouth transitions to gdm * After installing the update, observe that when fsck completes the messages are cleared and the transition to gdm is done without fsck/ctrl+c message present. * After this change lands in -updates, and daily desktop images are built with this, double check that casper-md5sum transition is also smooth. [Regression Potential] * plymouth spinner theme is adjusted to clear the footer, at the end of fsck, even if systemd-fsckd didn't do that. At the moment there are two consumers of the fsck apis systemd-fsckd & casper-md5sum used on installed systems and live-isos respectively. If something else pushes messages to the footer, they might get cleared at the end of fsck. [Other Info] * Original bug report It seems the transition to bgrt lost something with Ubuntu's disk check details. The only thing I see on my screen during a long disk check is the "press Ctrl-C to stop all in progress disk checks" with no progress.
