For some it works, for many others doesn’t.
Our plymouth is not working fine since 0.8 > 0.9 upgrade.
Reason for upgrade were that some bugs got fixed according to Plymouth upstream but the fact is that almost all distro didn’t upgrade.
We are speaking of 2 year time now.
I do not know what to tell you Ben
Some distros have chosen to remain with plymouth <0.9 and it works
Others have chosen to upgrade to version> 0.9 (like mageia 6) and it works
Only oma has a not completely working plymouth.
I only think that is not dependent on vbox, on upstream or on the government
and that in any case it is possible to fix
If it isn’t impossible to fix then what’s needed is awareness and willingness of developers to fix this. I seem to recall in the past devs either insisting it works when it doesn’t or saying that it isn’t important to them.
I know that it will be noticed by reviewers and will be important to users and worse at this point potential new users.
In summary what’s needed to get developers to become aware that this is a real problem that needs to be fixed? I’m pretty sure bugs have been filed on this haven’t they? Now I need to get a list of unresolved Plymouth bugs…
I think for developers it is just a graphic and aesthetic problem, so insignificant
But developers, often genie in their work, do not have great abilities of attraction towards new users and commercial capacity.
They use “vi” and the console to burn DVDs and they are proud of this.
Proprietary drivers are the devil, firefox shit etc etc
Tried in 3 different machines with different versions of Intel graphics. It works in all of them. Before Plymouth would only work occasionally, rarely.
