I was wondering how trusty's plymouth handles the kernel command line, as the "splash" option isn't evaluated in the upstart jobs. It seems this is done in src/main.c, plymouth_should_show_default_splash():
if (command_line_has_argument (state->kernel_command_line, "splash")) { ply_trace ("using default splash because kernel command line has option \"splash\""); return true; } [...] ply_trace ("no default splash because kernel command line lacks \"splash\" or \"rhgb\""); return false; This seems to decide between the default (graphical) splash or the text mode where it shows detailed messages. AFAICS, ubuntu-gnome-default- settings does not fundamentally change this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572874 Title: plymouth is disabled after upgrade from trusty due to missing "splash" kernel arg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1572874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
