CCing plymouth maintainer. If you ssh in, is plymouth running at this time? (In reply to comment #4) > CCing plymouth maintainer. If you ssh in, is plymouth running at this time? Yes. is that normal? I'm not certain this is the same issue, one point of difference is it looks like mingetty was started in the badly toggled state <echo off> and then toggled it for echo on for password, and then retoggled off, which is not the exact same as what customer is seeing. Also, they are rhgb off where the other bug only happens with rhgb. customer tried plymouth:debug at the kernel command line but they did not see any /var/log/plymouth-debug.log Specific behavior is: 1) boot up 2) login: root <-this behaves normally 3) password: password <- this is echoed when it should not be 4) every character must preceded by a return character to be registered. Any character not preceded by a return character is thrown out, so for example, directory listing is <ENTER>l<ENTER>s<ENTER><ENTER> The enter enter being the return (the return has to be preceded by the return character :) Since everything else is thrown away, it could also be done as: <ENTER>larry<ENTER>sanders<ENTER><ENTER> I did not file this as a bug in mingetty because I don't think mingetty was rebased in 6.1 If you ssh in and run 'plymouth quit', does it behave? (In reply to comment #6) > If you ssh in and run 'plymouth quit', does it behave? Everything starts working again, except your password still gets echoed upon login. so it sounds like "plymouth quit" either isn't getting called during start up, or it's getting called but ignored by plymouthd. - can you put plymouth:debug on the kernel command line and post /var/log/plymouth/plymouth-debug.log after doing your manual plymouth quit call? - what's the output of rpm -qV initscripts - is selinux enabled and enforcing? does booting with enforcing=0 make a difference? - I assume this is booting to runlevel 3 by default?

Ray, Thanks for your help. The customer mucked with some of the init script files. That was causing plymouth not to exit properly. |
