Package: plymouth Version: 0.8.3-9.1 Severity: important Same issue here. Graphics provided by: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go] [10de:0175] (rev a3) with nouveau.
The boot splash does appear for about 2 seconds, but then disappears and is replaced by typical boot messages. It stops at "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated... done." It is at this point that I have to press enter. It occurs to me that this is essentially the same behaviour as booting with 'single', except without the root password/ctrl+d prompt. After pressing enter once, my system boots the rest of the way normally, albeit without the progress bar I was hoping for. This system was upgraded from Lenny in February, shortly after the Squeeze release. Prior to the upgrade I had not attempted to use any kind of bootsplash. If anyone wants to puzzle through some possible fixes with me in real time, I'm generally available on irc.oftc.net #debian with the name 'sney'. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages plymouth depends on: ii initramfs-tools 0.98.8 tools for generating an initramfs ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-1.1~bpo60+1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdrm-intel1 2.4.23-0.0 Userspace interface to intel-speci ii libdrm-nouveau1 2.4.21-1~squeeze3 Userspace interface to nouveau-spe ii libdrm-radeon1 2.4.23-0.0 Userspace interface to radeon-spec ii libdrm2 2.4.23-0.0 Userspace interface to kernel DRM ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime Versions of packages plymouth recommends: ii fontconfig-config 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii plymouth-themes-all 0.8.3-9.1 Graphical Boot Animation and Logge ii ttf-dejavu-core 2.31-1 Vera font family derivate with add Versions of packages plymouth suggests: pn gdm <none> (no description available)
