[Bug 982889] Re: X trying to start before plymouth has finished using the drm driver

[William Pietri]

Thanks, Steve. The box was set up by a vendor (Emperor Linux), so
perhaps they did something custom with the splash screens when I got it
18 months ago.

Aesthetically, making something vital (UI startup) depend on something
decorative (splash screens) seems odd. Perhaps future versions of this
can be made more robust.

In case somebody else with a similar problem finds this bug report, I
verified the problem by using debsums

  % sudo debsums  -a plymouth
  [most package items ok]
  debsums: missing file /etc/init/plymouth-log.conf (from plymouth package)
  debsums: missing file /etc/init/plymouth-upstart-bridge.conf (from plymouth package)
  /etc/init/plymouth.conf                                                       OK
  debsums: missing file /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf (from plymouth package)
  /etc/init/plymouth-ready.conf                                                 OK
  debsums: missing file /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf (from plymouth package)

And the precise command I used to fix the problem was:
  % sudo apt-get --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confmiss install plymouth

That put back the missing files.

I also did "sudo debsums -s" to make sure nothing else important was
missing.
