[Bug 1292458] Re: [FFe] a bunch of updates to plymouth

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.8-0ubuntu16

---------------
plymouth (0.8.8-0ubuntu16) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Fix debian/patches/tty1-after-boot.patch: when we have multiple
    non-default console options on the kernel commandline,
    local_console_terminal will not be set, so we should avoid the resulting
    assert.  LP: #1160079, LP: #1235231.

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ] LP: #1292458
  * debian/patches/use-upstart-private-socket.patch: instead of using
    system dbus, use private upstart socket in the plymouth-upstart-bridge.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-upstart-bridge.upstart: start
    plymouth-upstart-bridge on startup, and thus gather a more complete
    boot.log.
  * debian/patches/dont-bail-on-dummy-terms.patch: don't bail
    plymouth-upstart-bridge if TERM is not set and/or running on a dummy
    terminal, as we can run on those. This makes console-log useful in
    lxc-containers and actually contain messages from upstart jobs
    starting and stopping.
  * debian/patches/no-print-empty-description.patch: do not store
    description when dbus returns empty string, and thus stop printing
    empty "Starting... done" messages. LP: #1185560.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-upstart-bridge.upstart: update stop on
    conditions to stop when plymouth-shutdown finishes.
  * Make ubuntu-logo theme support scale factor, provide one plymouth
    theme with scale 1 and another with scale 2, until scale factor can be
    dynamically detected.
  * Mark plymouth-upstart-bridge to respawn.

Title:
  [FFe] a bunch of updates to plymouth

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  * debian/patches/use-upstart-private-socket.patch: instead of using
    system dbus, use private upstart socket in the plymouth-upstart-bridge.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-upstart-bridge.upstart: start
    plymouth-upstart-bridge on startup, and thus gather a more complete
    boot.log.
  * debian/patches/dont-bail-on-dummy-terms.patch: don't bail
    plymouth-upstart-bridge if TERM is not set and/or running on a dummy
    terminal, as we can run on those. This makes console-log useful in
    lxc-containers and actually contain messages from upstart jobs
    starting and stopping.
  * debian/patches/no-print-empty-description.patch: do not store
    description when dbus returns empty string, and thus stop printing
    empty "Starting... done" messages.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-upstart-bridge.upstart: update stop on
    conditions to stop when plymouth-shutdown finishes.
  * Make ubuntu-logo theme support scale factor, provide one plymouth
    theme with scale 1 and another with scale 2, until scale factor can be
    dynamically detected.
  * Mark plymouth-upstart-bridge to respawn.

  
  This results in following improvements:
  * more complete /var/log/boot.log (e.g. from startup event, not just from dbus event)
  * now generates a /var/log/boot.log in the LXC containers
  * does not print empty/pointless " * Starting/Stopping" messages (e.g. those generated by startpar bridge)
  * ubuntu-logo theme now supports a scalingfactor, it's not auto-detected or user-adjustable, but there is an alternative theme with scaling factor 2, which one can choose to use with update-alternatives

  I believe we need/want all of those improvements for 14.04 LTS.
