[Bug 1867130] Re: spinner theme doesn't support fsckd progress messages

[Sebastien Bacher]

Ok, poking a bit systemd has a
Skip-filesystem-check-if-already-done-by-the-initram.patch

Which adds
ConditionPathExists=!/run/initramfs/fsck-root to systemd-fsck-root.service

That's coming from Debian and because the initramfs already do the / and
/usr checks. It means in practice the plymouth integration isn't used
for a while, unless you have other disks which are getting checking.
That's a less common usecase and I would say it's not a rls target issue

Title:
  spinner theme doesn't support fsckd progress messages

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In ubuntu, systemd-fsckd & casper send fsckd: special status messages
  with progress of integrity checks of disks.

  It then prints something like Checking disk 1 of 3 (70%), in a
  separate message, such that one can still see keycodes message (ie.
  "press S to skip") or any other messages, i.e. "Please unlock drive
  nvme0n1p3".

  This is a regression from ubuntu-logo theme.
