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

[Sebastien Bacher]

Ok, I managed to have the fsck messages displayed

* don't skip check if initramfs is already doing it

$ sudo editor /lib/systemd/system/systemd-fsck-root.service

comment 
#ConditionPathExists=!/run/initramfs/fsck-root

* replace fsck with a mocked version

$ sudo mv /sbin/fsck /sbin/fsck.renamed
$ apt source systemd
$ sudo cp systemd-245.2/debian/tests/fsck 

* trigger a fsck for next reboot
$ sudo touch /forcefsck

Reboot

The disk check integration is displayed, with spinner only line about
ctrl-C is on screen though

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.
