Topic: Plymouth with scrolling boot messages
I've spend some hours on getting boot messages in the plymouth screen (why? i don't know
)
You can find a howto for Ubuntu here, but this doesn't work for #!.
You can use the plymouth theme as described, but to get the boot messages you have to edit /lib/lsb/init-functions What i did was add the lines below to every echo command in the file and replaced the "#@" with the same options as the echo command.
if [ -x /bin/plymouth ]; then
/bin/plymouth update --status="$@"
fiSo now my bootscreen is a 'decruftification services' wallpaper with scrolling boot messages on the left...
To change the color of the messages, you have to edit /usr/share/plymouth/themes/simple/simple.script and change this line:
// Create the image for the latest message
lines[i] = Image.Text(text, 0, 0, 0);Tuna
