The Wheezy version of Plymouth (0.8.5.1-5) renders themes without issue on the VMware framebuffer but, on the new version with Jessie (0.9.0-9) plymouthd seems to crash when the ramdisk scripts try to run the daemon. I've tried to get some useful debug by adding --debug to plymouth and plymouthd in the ramdisk, as well as plymouth:debug on the kernel line but, it's not very helpful. The only way I could find to confirm this, was to manually replace the plymouth binaries and libraries in the initramfs with the old ones from Wheezy. So, using the same kernel, and only replacing the plymouth binaries and libraries in the ramdisk that was generated in Jessie it renders properly. The new version renders on the real hardware I've tested it on but, I'd really like to be able to test my plymouth theme in a VM. Does anyone know what might have changed between these version that would break compatibility with VMware?
