What do you see from running "plymouth-set-default-plugin" ?

"plymouth-set-default-plugin" shows "solar"

I saw an ohter problem in relation to the plymouth-plugin. It seams that I got dependency problems.

dependency problem with plymouth

for a quick check could you boot with the live CD and see if it works there?

boot from live CD with nouveau.modeset=1 works!. Correct resolution and graphical boot progress screen is shown.

The dependencies problem is solved (remove all plymouth packages and install it again). But still no graphical boot screen. But there is another message who not appear in the dmesg logfile. I need many reboots to get the hole message:

(it shows it after the "Unknown boot option `nouveau.modeset=1': ignoring" message)

/bin/plymouthd: symbol lookup error: /bin/plymouthd: undefined symbol: ply_window_add_escape_handler
could not read byte from child: Success

after that the resolution changed and it displays:

[drm:nv50_display_command] *ERROR* timeout: 0x610300 = 0x80010081

and continue the boot process in the native resolution without any graphical boot screen to gdm.

I suspect this is an idiosyncracy of your particular Rawhide install. It's certainly not a bug in nouveau, since it works on the live CD, so I'm going to close it. You could report a bug against plymouth, but I rather suspect it's not a general bug, just something odd that's happened to your particular install, so that may not be worthwhile.

Just for information. Adams is right. After an upgrade to beta the graphical boot screen works not! Thanks for your time and help!
