Description rowgaiden 2011-06-20 18:11:38 UTC
Description of problem:
"fade-in" theme at 800x600@24, 1024x768@24, and 1024x768@16 has this quirk where midway through the boot splash, the screen appears to blink/flicker and the boot splash restarts itself without further issue.

An exception is when set to 1024x768@24 the bootsplash appears to crash near the end showing a full screen of console text messages but it does not stop the system booting into the desktop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plymouth-theme-fade-in.i686 0:0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15                         
plymouth-plugin-fade-throbber.i686 0:0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15  

How reproducible:
Boot up computer, restart, or shutdown.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.yum install bootconf-gui
2.yum install plymouth-theme-fade-in
3.plymouth-set-default-theme -R fade-in
  
Actual results:
[root@... ...]# plymouth-set-default-theme -R fade-in
W: Possible missing firmware "cbfw_fc.bin" for kernel module "bfa.ko"
W: Possible missing firmware "ctfw_cna.bin" for kernel module "bfa.ko"

Additional info:
Fedora 15 i686
AMD Sempron CPU x86_64
Radeon 9600SE AGP

"bootconf gui" appears to have installed correctly but doesn't display an icon in the Applications menu on the desktop.

The default plymouth theme "charge" doesn't show a shutdown splash when "bootconfgui" is set to 800x600@24.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:27:21 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
