This bug involves changes to a number of packages. The changes I know
about are as follows:
* plymouth: fix segfault in vga16fb renderer induced by VT activation while
not actually using the renderer (this is already done in plymouth 0.8.1-3, so I
shan't bother opening a bug task for it)
* upstart: 1) add 'console output' to /etc/init/rc.conf, or make it the
default for all jobs (Scott, have you decided which you want yet? I prefer the
former on grounds of minimum impact); 2) add 'env INIT_VERBOSE' to
/etc/init/rc.conf so that INIT_VERBOSE=yes on the kernel command line works,
the way it appears to be intended to
* ubuntu-meta: move plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo from standard to desktop-common
seed, leaving standard with only the built-in details theme, plus
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text to satisfy the Recommends field
* grub-installer: make it possible for the server CDs to be configured such
that 'splash' never ends up on the installed system's kernel command line
* ubuntu-cdimage: configure the server CDs thus, while making sure that the
alternate CDs still get 'splash'
The result of this will be that console messages, including output from
init scripts, end up on tty7 during boot. After boot has finished,
we'll switch to tty1, which will just have a login prompt on it, but
Alt-F7 will show the init script output again. Not all init scripts
will produce output, since some are guarded by VERBOSE checks; if you
want to see these, boot with INIT_VERBOSE=yes. I believe the default,
without VERBOSE, should show very little by default but a reasonable
amount of interesting status output for any server system running a non-
trivial number of daemons.
Thierry, does this sound OK to you? I'm going to get started with the
straightforward bits.
