[Splashy-devel] Bug#478308: splashy: does not capture as much text as usplash does

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.8-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
after trying both splashy and usplash, I must say that usplash does a
significantly better job in capturing init script output. When booting
a rather minimal Debian sid with splashy, all I see is:
Starting Boot splash manager: splashy
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd
Reloading OpenBSD Secure Shell server configuration: sshd
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd
Starting internet superserver: inetd
Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd
Starting periodic command scheduler: crond
usplash, otoh, shows a lot about file systems being mounted etc, which
allows one to see better what's going on. For example, when a crypto
partition is to be mounted using dm-crypt and LUKS, one just has to
guess when to enter the key, while with usplash, you see a "setting up
$LV_NAME" before the boot process prompts (invisibly, of course) for
the key.
That being said, splashy is of course the much better option and
rocks, compared to usplash.
Greetings
Marc
