heres a weird thing, honey drops out of boot...{solved}

[wuxmedia]

for this;

seemingly only on cold boot.
anyone had this? yeah just me, thought so 8)
I have never installed plymouth on any of my systems.
a systemd/debian weirdness?
where might i start looking for such a hook?
I've gone over the files in /etc/systemd/system...
going to grep the /etc/ dir for plymouth occurences.

Wait, Plymouth, how is that possible? Did you just d-u?

[wuxmedia]

not *that* recently - maybe a week ago.
odd eh?
not a major prob.

Look in /etc/init.d. On the live honey, there are still some plymouth scripts in there, and some hooks in .depend.start and .depend.stop. Try "sudo apt-get purge plymouth" -- that removed it for me, even though plymouth is not installed.

[wuxmedia]

ahh thanks pidsley!

Removing plymouth ...
Purging configuration files for plymouth ...

one file purged, cool.
i'll check init.d if it comes back.

why is the debconf locked? - Because i still had dpgk-reconfigure running in tty for S11!

Partly weird - in the transition from sysvinit to systemd and via the live-boot scripts there are traces of plymouth pulled in, because live-config-upstart would usually provide it but breaks live-config-systemd and/or live-config-sysvinit. Nothing to worry about.

[wuxmedia]

me, worry? 8)

booted fine this morning.
