The code to determine if the option is set seems to be buggy (expecting the FRAMEBUFFER variable to be set)
The plymouth code uses this option but does not need the framebuffer if the arg --tty=ttyO0 is used for devices on a serial console. If frabebuffer and/or plymouth is disabled via this the init scripts do not utilize the serial console. For some reason this bug is just now being triggered, it was not being triggered early in the install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789141 Title: initramfs.conf: please document FRAMEBUFFER option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/789141/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
