Title:
Plymouth causes update-initramfs to fail
Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and plymouth 0.9.4git20200109-0ubuntu6.
Whenever I run "update-initramfs -uk all", it fails and produces this
output:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-14-generic
cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_0bZgET/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png': No such file or directory
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-14-generic with 1.
I found a workaround: if I edit /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hooks/plymouth and find this line:
cp /usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-logo.png
"${DESTDIR}/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png"
And add this line right before it:
mkdir -p
"${DESTDIR}/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner"
Then it runs successfully.
