** Description changed: During early boot, plymouth captures writes to /dev/console. As I understand it, it is supposed to re-play that content later. Whether or not it intends to is not the issue. In our cloud-images (and in other cases) users may write data to /dev/console that needs to be seen on the other side (ie a serial logger or 'get-console-ouptput' api call). See the attached 'my-logger.conf' for an upstart job that simply writes data early in boot to /dev/console. Sometimes data "lost" is available in /var/log/boot.log, but sometimes it doesn't even seem to make it - there. + there. bug 682831 has an attachment 'myhack-init' that does a similar + thing but starts outputting by replacing /sbin/init and then calling + /sbin/init itself. Related bugs: - * bug 682831: lost console output early in boot + * bug 682831: lost console output early in boot == Original bug report == On precise cloud images, I get a console output line like this: ci-info: eth0 : 1 192.168.122.204 255.255.255.0 52:54:00:7f:d8:ca^M On saucy cloud images, this is missing.
