[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#860463: nodm: Missing handling of plymouth (#782456)

[Niels Thykier]

Package: nodm
Version: 0.13-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

I have reviewed the nodm systemd service file plus the init.d script
and I cannot see that it takes plymouth into account (which leads to
#782456).  To the best of my knowledge, #782456 have to be fixed in
the DMs.


For init scripts that can be done by the following shell snippet (just
before starting the DM):

"""
if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] ; then
   /bin/plymouth quit
fi
"""

For systemd, it should be a question of adding the following under the
"[Unit]" section:

"""
After=plymouth-quit.service
"""

I have X-CC'ed Laurent Bigonville, who is the maintainer of plymouth
in case you have any technical questions related to this bug.

Thanks,
~Niels
