Description of problem: during startup in messages log: file /bin/plymouthd seems to be deleted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plymouth-0.8.2-3.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On running fedora 13 system cleanly installed observe this message in the syslog. 2. set default theme with "plymouth-set-default-theme charge" 3. Try to generate new initrd with: "plymouth-set-default-theme -R" Actual results: the command "plymouth-set-default-theme -R" displays: /usr/share/plymouth/themes//.plymouth does not exist altough the command "plymouth-set-default-theme" displays: charge. Expected results: The initrd to be correctly generated and the error messages: Dec 10 21:58:39 hestia abrt[1797]: file /bin/plymouthd seems to be deleted Dec 10 21:58:40 hestia abrt[1797]: saved core dump of pid 142 (/bin/plymouthd) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1292014720-142.new/coredump (2396160 bytes) Dec 10 21:58:40 hestia abrtd: Directory 'ccpp-1292014720-142' creation detected Dec 10 21:58:41 hestia abrtd: Executable '/bin/plymouthd' doesn't belong to any package Dec 10 21:58:41 hestia abrtd: Corrupted or bad crash /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1292014720-142 (res:4), deleting not to be show in the syslog. Additional info: This bug has been reported several times. And it seems there is already a patch available but seems not to make it through though.
Okay, it seems to be solved by executing: plymouth-set-default-theme charge --rebuild-initrd But after a reboot with the newly generated initramfs a new problem arises: .%G.%G Welcome to .[0;34mFedora.[0;39m Press 'I' to enter interactive startup.
