Hey letstrynl , ok your/Canonical's arguments for plymouth are totally acceptable. On the other hand, if you consider how much trouble plymouth causes and how many bugs are still open I do not understand that they put such efforts and manpower in it, just to get it somehow working for the majority to the (fixed) release date.
There are really by far more important bugs to be fixed in the essential base system under the hood - if it is really going to be a good and reliable LTS-release. There for sure is a good reason, why Debian has removed plymouth completely form Squeeze and put it back to sid. What is really NOT acceptable with Ubuntu: setting intentially a dependency which definitely is not required, just to force normal users to install plymouth without a chance to de-install it. Such an attitude I'd expect from M$, but not in a Linux distribution. -- Please remove the plymouth dependency from mountall / cryptsetup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
