[Bug 1875686] Re: Spinner is never seen on boot

Tue Jun 2 05:48:27 UTC 2020

There is some threshold below which the spinner doesn't appear, by
design. So it's unclear if there is any bug at all here...

1. Please tell us exactly how long you see the Ubuntu logo on bootup.

2. Please report the issue to the Plymouth developers at:

   https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/plymouth/-/issues

   and then tell us the new issue ID.

** Summary changed:

- Plymouth fails to appear after troubled reboot in which the system nearly locked prior to the reboot due to high memory pressure and Gnome had to reboot
+ Spinner is never seen on boot

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  Spinner is never seen on boot

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I was using CLion on my PC, CLion, Gnome, and then the entire PC
  froze, during which I pressed Control-Alt-Fn-F1. Minutes later, a
  black screen appeared, and I found myself on the login screen. I then
  logged back on, finding all my previous programs closed. I then
  rebooted the PC.

  After the reboot, when the machine was booting up, only the Dell and
  Ubuntu logo appeared. Plymouth was absent, and even when I pushed the
  down button on my PC, the Dell and Ubuntu logo remained on the static
  screen until Gnome booted up.

  Plymouth was supposed to appear, and when I push the down button, the
  boot process was supposed to show as well, but it did not.

  I sent this report the moment after I logged back in.
