Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
Plymouth message and password prompts do not work with libcairo2_
Text is not rendered when booting, but will render from plymouth-x11.
If initramfs made with libcairo2_
This is when using a custom splash theme based on the ubuntu-logo theme script and using the same code from that script to render text. I use a consistant background image from grub to plymouth to desktop, a modified password prompt window, and modified progress bullets.
Finding this bug required rolling back all the Feb 8 updates to Ubuntu Natty, then reinstalling them one at a time until the problem was found. I do not know for sure whether this should be considered a bug in plymouth or in libcairo, as I do not know whether an update in libcairo now requires an update in Plymouth or there is a bug in libcairo like what happened with gcc and plymouth.
affects: | plymouth (Ubuntu) → cairo (Ubuntu) |
thank you for your bug report but the cairo code didn't change, it's just some packaging which enabled the gl backend and resynchronized on debian, seems you are the only one to get that issue for now as well
