[Merge] lp:~xnox/ubuntu/trusty/plymouth/private-upstart-socket into lp:ubuntu/plymouth

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

The proposal to merge lp:~xnox/ubuntu/trusty/plymouth/private-upstart-socket into lp:ubuntu/plymouth has been updated.

Description changed to:

First this patch series fixes to use upstart private socket, and thus able to start on startup. That was mostly removing code to deal with system-bus, looking up nameowner, and monitoring nameowner changes.

Next I've tried testing plymouth-upstart-bridge in an lxc container, only to notice that it didn't work, thus i fixed running plymouth-upstart-bridge when $TERM is not set.

This resulted in loads of empty messages, but it was never intended to print empty messages, so i've fixed that (dbus returns empty string, not NULL).

And i've also removed description stanza from the startpar bridge (separate upload) such that one does not get extra messages about startpar bridge firing, for every upstart job that is printed.

One now gets a more complete /var/log/boot.log on more ubuntu configurations.

For HiDPI support, I've tweaked ubuntu-logo theme to support "scalingfactor" for all loaded images/text/layout, and generated one theme with scalingfactor set to 1 (same as current theme) and another one with scalingfactor set to 2 to support highdpi screens via update-alternatives, until we get scalingfactor detection and passing that to plymouth.
