Could it be just a LiveCD issue related to http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-05/msg00566.html ? Hi Atri, You could be right as that the LiveCD's are build differently. But how did you edit the grub2 entry on a LiveCD ? Or did you install the CD onto your harddisk ? Please be aware that the vga= parameter is no longer supported with kernels 3.4+ and has been replaced by video=1280x800 (or the resolution that you want). If you installed the LiveCD onto a harddisk, then please regenerate the initrd as this should resolve the issue that was described by Stephan. Thanks Raymond for the quick response! I installed the LiveCD onto a virtualbox vm and then edited the grub2.cfg there (on same vm, pre-beta versions used to show a nice boot up screen with the geeko and bubbles, etc.) Following your suggestions, I now ran "mkinitrd" and booted with video=1280x800, but I still get only the black screen from bootloader to gdm. For ref, here are the packages I have installed on my system:- S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+----------------------------+---------+-----------+--------+------------------ i | plymouth | package | 0.8.4-9.1 | x86_64 | factory-oss i | plymouth-branding-openSUSE | package | 0.8.4-9.1 | noarch | factory-oss i | plymouth-plugin-label | package | 0.8.4-9.1 | x86_64 | factory-oss i | plymouth-plugin-script | package | 0.8.4-9.1 | x86_64 | factory-oss i | plymouth-scripts | package | 0.8.4-9.1 | noarch | factory-oss i | systemd-plymouth | package | 44-7.1 | x86_64 | factory-oss i | systemd-plymouth | package | 44-7.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE-12.2-Oss plymouth-branding-openSUSE installs /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf with this hard coded content: # Administrator customizations go in this file #[Daemon] #Theme=fade-in [Daemon] Theme=fade-in Change "Theme=fade-in" to "Theme=openSUSE" and you will get geeko, bubbles and so on. Seems that at least plymouth-theme-solar changes /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf (didn't try the other themes). rpm -q plymouth-branding-openSUSE -changelog gives: * Wed May 30 2012 vuntz@opensuse.org - Add plymouth-scripts Requires(post) to branding-openSUSE subpackage, to make sure that the %post scriptlet will work. - Make sure we export LIB and not lib in the %postun scriptlets of theme-solar and branding-openSUSE subpackages. * Tue May 29 2012 tittiatcoke@gmail.com - Ensure that label.so is being installed for the openSUSE branding (bnc#763574) ... Hi Hans! Thanks for your suggestion. Just tried that, but it does not solve the problem of the black screen appearing for almost entire duration of boot-up (from choosing openSUSE in bootloader to gdm). In fact, even without this change, I do see the correct plymouth branding appear for about a second immediately after the bootlader screen, and then it disappears completely leaving just the black screen for the rest of the boot up duration. Running mkinitrd within your running system (make sure there's no "label.so not found" message) and rebooting may bring you a step further. And see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-06/msg00083.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-06/msg00084.html Didn't try Bruno's "plymouth-set-default openSUSE && mkinitrd" (and reboot) but that seems to get you into the same positive result. s/plymouth-set-default/plymouth-set-default-theme Thank you Hans! That did it! Now I see the plymouth openSUSE branding alright. There is still the issue of the black screen lingering for about 2 seconds as plymouth ends and gdm takes over, but I understand that is being tackled separately. This bug is "Resolved: Fixed" for me if it is okay with Raymond. Thanks for all the help everyone. I am fine to close this bug and I am happy to hear that things got resolved. I am currently changing the Plymouth package to have the right defaults in place, so that with Beta 2 things would work better. Thanks for reporting. Raymond |
