(sorry for the shallow bug report - I intended to fill it up some more but it fell through the cracks)
Specific units are: plymouth-read-write.service plymouth-quit.service plymouth-quit-wait.service Measured time spent in these: between 100 and 300ms (depending on I/O, I assume). It's a modest win for boot time, but it's also a very simple patch (https://paste.ubuntu.com/23476239/) Despite being referenced in other services as an "after", it seems (from manually applying above patch) that other services start and normally (Before manual patch: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23479860/, after manual patch: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23479865/ , both taken on a machine with no "splash" in cmdline) It seems like a clear cut case of removing "dead" code conditionally (switching on the cmdline presence of "splash" as for the starting service), but of course I might not have the whole picture. I intend to try the same on a desktop machine with and without a "splash" cmdline, with FDE enabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641664 Title: systemd services starting while plymouth is deactivated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1641664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
