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

Comment 3 Niels Haase 2009-03-27 04:40:18 UTC
"plymouth-set-default-plugin" shows "solar"

Comment 4 Niels Haase 2009-03-27 05:02:19 UTC
I saw an ohter problem in relation to the plymouth-plugin. It seams that I got dependency problems.

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    plymouth-libs-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64 from rawhide
    plymouth-plugin-label-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64 from rawhide
    plymouth-plugin-solar-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64 from rawhide

Current Versions are:
plymouth-scripts-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-plugin-solar-0.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-plugin-label-0.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-gdm-hooks-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-system-plugin-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-libs-0.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-utils-0.7.0-0.2009.03.09.1.fc11.x86_64
plymouth-system-plugin-0.6.0-2.fc11.x86_64

please see the attached logfile "plymouth_dep_prob" of yum trying (with --skip-broken) to resolving the dependencies.

dependency problem with plymouth

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2009-03-27 21:29:29 UTC
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.

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2009-03-30 19:42:58 UTC
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!
