[Bug 1880250] Re: Ctrl-C message displayed without any actual disk check

[Brian Murray]

Hello Kees, or anyone else affected,

Accepted plymouth into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/0.9.4git20200323-0ubuntu6.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * fsck messages is shown by plymouth, despite all fscks already
  completed.

  [Test Case]

   * Install Ubuntu Desktop with full disk encryption

   * Observe that fsck messages (press ctrl+c) is shown, and remains
  there on screen for a little while as plymouth transitions to gdm

   * After installing the update, observe that when fsck completes the
  messages are cleared and the transition to gdm is done without
  fsck/ctrl+c message present.

   * After this change lands in -updates, and daily desktop images are
  built with this, double check that casper-md5sum transition is also
  smooth.

  
  [Regression Potential] 

   * plymouth spinner theme is adjusted to clear the footer, at the end
  of fsck, even if systemd-fsckd didn't do that. At the moment there are
  two consumers of the fsck apis systemd-fsckd & casper-md5sum used on
  installed systems and live-isos respectively. If something else pushes
  messages to the footer, they might get cleared at the end of fsck.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  It seems the transition to bgrt lost something with Ubuntu's disk
  check details. The only thing I see on my screen during a long disk
  check is the "press Ctrl-C to stop all in progress disk checks" with
  no progress.
