** Description changed: plymouth does not display text on Ubuntu Core 24, this is because of a regression introduced by https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/544e62ac41a490f04d8e6b4e85f8b9fa1171b0cc This was later fixed by: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/792fe7474a02a1facacdd52e0dcf9053da4b1f6e - The patch needs to be backported to noble. It affects also oracular and - plucky atm. + The patch is now in plucky but needs to be backported to noble and + oracular (TPM backed desktop systems could be affected). + + [ Impact ] + + Users do not see messages about boot status that were printed in the + past in Ubuntu Core systems. + + [ Test Plan ] + + To reproduce: run UC24 on a qemu VM adding "splash quiet" to the kernel + command line from the grub menu. If the system has the bug, no message + will be displayed in the bottom part of the display while the splash + screen is shown. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + The patch comes from upstream and it affects the label-freetype library, + which is used only on UC/hybrid systems, so there should be no impact + for regular desktop users. + + On UC, if something goes wrong then maybe plymouth could crash and we + would end up with no splash, but the fix is prettly simple and comes + from upstream so chances of this happening are small. + + [ Other Info ] + + None at the moment.
