Description Michal Marek 2012-06-27 11:50:45 UTC

After update from 12.1, the system boots, but the splashscreen is displayed for ever. I have to ssh to the machine, run plymouth quit and rcxdm start to be able to use X. If I do

zypper rm systemd-plymouth bootsplash-branding-openSUSE

then X starts without problems on next reboot.

Comment 1 Frederic Crozat 2012-06-27 12:01:31 UTC

which display manager are you using ?

Comment 2 Michal Marek 2012-06-27 12:21:26 UTC

xdm

Comment 3 Michal Marek 2012-06-27 12:23:55 UTC

zypper in systemd-plymouth bootsplash-branding-openSUSE breaks it again, so I can do any debugging you want.

Comment 5 Frederic Crozat 2012-06-27 13:12:06 UTC

could you try to patch /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm:

add line :
test /usr/bin/plymouth && plymouth quit

to xdm_start_proc() :

xdm_start_proc() {
    xdm_reload_files
    test /usr/bin/plymouth && plymouth quit
    return $?
}

Looks like Takashi hit the exact same bug and found a similar fix in the xdm startup script.
