File not found during Plymouth mkinitcpio build hook

[Yochanan]

Sounds like a partial upgrade state. Make sure your mirror(s) are up to date and see if you missed any packages. Either way, run mkinitcpio -P to regenerate your initramfs. It looks like the hook ran before the appropriate packages were updated.

@Alden20

==> ERROR: file not found: '/usr/share/plymouth/manjaro-logo.png'

plymouth 23.51.283-1 depends on filesystem 2023.12.20-1 as the Manjaro logos were moved to the latter package:

❯ pacman -Ql filesystem | grep logo
filesystem /usr/share/pixmaps/manjaro-logo-text-dark.png
filesystem /usr/share/pixmaps/manjaro-logo.png

@Alden20

can someone tell me how I can restore a btrfs snapshot to temporarily solve this problem?

Please create a Support thread for further troubleshooting.

[Alden20]

The only thing I have done after installing Manjaro is:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable

And then:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu

I haven’t done anything else, and this has already caused the failure to start the package update process.

[Yochanan]

I just made a few edits to my post, please refresh the page if necessary and review it again.

Based on those errors some is off. @Yochanan can you check again on your system if you see similar errors?

@Alden20 can you confirm if you stay on testing branch that you don’t have those issues?

[Alden20]

I confirm that the testing branch does not give the error:

I’ll do some further investigating…

EDIT: Eureka! I think I figured it out… Fix incoming…

EDIT @Alden20 plymouth 23.51.283-2 should fix the issue.

==> ERROR: file not found: '/usr/lib/plymouth//label.so'

@Alden20

/usr/lib/plymouth//label.so

Theres a typo or some other error in parsing the data … double slashes.

[Yochanan]

That’s a fair guess, however /usr/lib/plymouth/label.so is no longer part of plymouth as of 23.51.283. It was there in the previous version.

[cscs]

True, no package currently provides anything *plymouth/label.so
But right now it wouldnt matter if there were, because its looking for /usr/lib/plymouth//label.so.

[Yochanan]

Turns out label.so was replaced by label-freetype.so & label-pango.so. Fixing now…

Update: The issue is with /usr/lib/initcpio/install/plymouth and /usr/lib/initcpio/install/sd-plymouth. I’ve tried replacing label.so with both label-freetype.so & label-pango.so in those files and the initramfs builds fine. However, the Plymouth logo is not displayed on boot with either. More investigation is required.

@Alden20 For now, either remove the plymouth hook from your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf or downgrade filesystem and plymouth.

[Alden20]

OK, I have commented the plymouth hook from my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as you have indicated and has done it correctly. I restarted the machine and logged in again to see that Linux was indeed booting correctly.

The only thing is that I understand that we cannot leave the current version of the package (23.51.283-3) in the repository, since anyone who updates the packages in the unstable branch will experience the same thing as me, and if that user does not pay attention to the error message, he or she will not be able to boot Linux afterwards. It would have to be replaced with the version that now exists in the testing branch (22.02.122-15).

[Yochanan]

I was able to fix the issue with the missing label.so on my end, but then I realized there’s other things that need to be changed as well. I was not able to get it working properly after the changes, so I’ve just reverted filesystem and plymouth to their previous versions for now.

@Alden20

[Unstable Update] December 2023 Edition

I’ve just made major changes with plymouth 22.02.122-17 that removed the old unneeded cruft in preparation for the new upstream v23.51.283: WARNING: The plymouth-encrypt and sd-plymouth hooks no longer exist in the package. You should replace them with encrypt and plymouth hooks in your mkinitcpio.conf. The lxdm-plymouth.service, lightdm-plymouth.service and sddm-plymouth.service systemd service files no longer exist in the package. You should enable lxdm.service,…
