It’s ok now, with the rebuild.

No bootsplash?

19

Do you mean Linux 6.3 initramfs does not show plymouth boot screen?

20

No, I use the Bootsplash provided by Manjaro:

21

I use it too, that should work fine on Linux 6.2 and 6.1.

Do you mean that you lost it after switching to Linux 6.3?

When I boot kernel 6.3.0-1, there is a kernel warning:

memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, pid=1 'systemd'

Is this good or bad?

23

yes, kernel 6.2 and 6.1 appears the bootsplash, but 6.3 not.

I see this in my journal too.

24

Can you show what is the output on Kernel 6.3?

$ zgrep CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH /proc/config.gz
25

$ zgrep CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH /proc/config.gz
'# CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH is not set

27

output of Kernel 6.3…0-1

zgrep CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH /proc/config.gz
`# CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH is not set
Output of Kernel 6.3
+++
output on Kernel 6.2.12-1

zgrep CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH /proc/config.gz
'CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y

It looks like Manjaro forgot to enable this option.

That config is publicly available:

31

I see, this was a plan to completely disable/remove Manjaro’s bootsplash for kernel 6.3.

32

Yes, we plan to drop an unmaintained feature that currently requires 16 patches to work.

Actually, that sounds like a great idea! :bulb:

No, not really. It just wasn’t re-enabled for the stable kernel. Often patches are temporarily skipped for building RC kernels.

I prefer the Bootsplash over Plymouth boot screen, but what I often did is press the ESC key to see whats going on on boot.

34

Plymouth can do, but it starts a bit slower than Bootsplash.

Plymouth has more advantages over Bootsplash:

  • Support encryption with LUKS in boot theme.
  • More custom themes.
  • Load a vendor logo from BIOS.
35

And last but not least it’s a maintained and healthy project.

36

I like the bootsplash-manjaro-elegant, can I use it in Plymouth?
Yes, I think I found some themes for manjaro, I will try them with Plymouth.

bootsplah have 5 years with no maintenance
.

  • I leave boot without a bootsplah or plymouth. ::
