Package: plymouth Version: 0.8.8-4 Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, After installing plymouth and adding "quiet splash" to my grub boot line, my system failed to successfully boot into a vt or X. Instead, after the plymouth bootsplash screen I just got a black screen (sometimes with a flashing cursor in the top left corner) and did not have the ability to vt switch. Inspection of the /var/log/syslog showed: Feb 23 20:10:08 UK6475R82934W [1436]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /bin/udevadm: No such file or directory Feb 23 20:10:08 UK6475R82934W [1437]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /bin/udevadm: No such file or directory Feb 23 20:10:08 UK6475R82934W systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: control process exited, code=exited status=203 Feb 23 20:10:08 UK6475R82934W systemd[1]: Unit plymouth-start.service entered failed state. I fixed the problem by replacing the following line in /lib/systemd/system /plymouth-start.service: ExecStartPost=-/bin/udevadm settle --timeout=30 --exit-if- exists=/sys/class/drm/card0/dev ; /bin/udevadm settle --timeout=30 --exit-if- exists=/sys/class/graphics/fb0/dev ; /bin/plymouth show-splash with ExecStartPost=-/sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=30 --exit-if- exists=/sys/class/drm/card0/dev ; /sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=30 --exit-if- exists=/sys/class/graphics/fb0/dev ; /bin/plymouth show-splash My system now boots without error.
