dosfsck breaks usplash

[Computer Geek]

Binary package hint: usplash

When booting my Ubuntu 6.06 machine breaks out of usplash to check my vfat drives using dosfsck. As soon as it begins checking my vfat drive\ it quits out of usplash to the standard text boot. While this is not a mission critical bug... its still annoying.

It is not even a bug but a feature. fsck progress really should be
shown.

[Alan B. Clements (alan-clements)]

The feature should only dump the 'pretty' screen only if there is a problem reported; not on every run

Since Hardy shows fsck outputs through usplash, I believe that we should expect dofsck to do the same, so setting status to confirmed, importance wishlist.

I can confirm this bug. On latest hardy, dosfsck breaks usplash.

I paste here the same as in #67453:

In my case usplash gets killed when a message about dosfsck appears on screen (i have a vfat partition mounted automatically on boot).

/etc/fstab line is:
# /dev/sda5
UUID=47E8-3D46 /media/Data vfat defaults,users,utf8,umask=000,gid=46 0 1

fsck doesn't run, just says something like "partition clean", i mean, is not the long check...

BTW, setting the "fs_passno" to 0 on fstab, fixes the problem. But i still think this is a bug doesn't it? As with fs_passno 1 or 2 usplash dissapears on dosfsck...

ubuntu jaunty,

this bug still persists.
it is a bug here, as it does not just break usplash (i would not bother) but it forces fsck routine check on every boot-up.
annoying.. first i thought it was a disk-error, but several checks on all partitions of this 1year old HDD showed that there is nothing wrong with my disks. Just after 2h fiddling around I came across this page and went right away to switch off fsck-check on my fat32 disk by editing fstab. Now everything goes as it should.

confirm that bug too, splash dissapears at fsck, in my case it's reiserfs partition. No errors prints in text. There is small pause (3-5 sec) in text output of fsck for my big reiserfs partition, so I guess splash thinks that something bad happens.

Then full fsck check happens - each 30 days or so - splash display messages correctly, it didn't dissapear before complete boot, like in usual routine fsck checks.

The usplash package has been superseded by plymouth and has been removed from the Ubuntu archive. Closing all related bugs.
