Package: plymouth
Version: 0.8.3-20
Severity: minor
The syntax of plymouthd.conf seems to be very fragile. In particular, adding a
mixture of comments and empty line at the beginning of the file seems to break
file persing. The consequence is that plymouthd completley ignore the file and
revert back to defaults, including the default "text" theme.
For example, the following plymouthd.conf is *not* valid and will be completely
ignored by plymouth:
# This file is managed by Puppet, local modifications will be overwritten
# Administrator customizations go in this file
[Daemon]
Theme=spacefun
while the following is valid and will act as expected
# This file is managed by Puppet, local modifications will be overwritten
#
# Administrator customizations go in this file
[Daemon]
Theme=spacefun
Ignoring both commented and empty lines is a pretty standard expectation in
*nix configuration files, it would be nice if plymouth could fulfill it.
Thanks for maintaining plymouth in Debian,
Cheers.
