| minute | josch: i just tried tribar plymouth text mode theme. it's pretty cool | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| minute | josch: requires "splash" to activate but seems to use just the text console. i wonder if it works on non rk3588 | 00:50 |
| josch | it probably works on rk3588 -- the problem are the other SoMs, no? | 00:50 |
| minute | josch: that's what i meant | 00:51 |
| minute | josch: by non rk3588 :D | 00:51 |
| josch | ah :) | 00:51 |
| josch | oh too late for reading it seems XD | 00:51 |
| minute | i just tested it on classic reform | 00:51 |
| minute | iffff i remember i can test it at work on non-rk3588 | 00:51 |
| josch | i'll only get to try things out next week again | 00:52 |
| josch | i'll be mostly afk over the weekend | 00:52 |
| josch | then i only wonder how to best select the theme depending on the SoM | 00:53 |
| josch | because i assume you'd like a different non-text theme on rk3588? | 00:53 |
| minute | josch: no, it looks clean and would be fine for rk3588 too | 00:54 |
| minute | josch: way better than scrolling debug messages :D | 00:54 |
| minute | and puts the decrypt prompt in the middle of the screen | 00:54 |
| josch | oh perfect then! | 00:55 |
| josch | no more headaches about how to select on which SoM to do what :) | 00:55 |
| minute | josch: yip yip | 00:55 |
| josch | minute: it's not working on a311d | 01:03 |
| josch | i have this in my /proc/cmdline: | 01:03 |
| josch | ro no_console_suspend cryptomgr.notests ro no_console_suspend console=ttyAML0,115200 pci=pcie_bus_perf libata.force=noncq nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 console=tty1 console=tty1 splash | 01:03 |
| josch | so "splash" should make it work | 01:04 |
| josch | and "sudo plymouth-set-default-theme" says i have tribar selected | 01:04 |
| josch | and instead of a luks password prompt i get this: https://mister-muffin.de/p/0Mbh.jpg | 01:05 |
| josch | maybe what plymouth calls "text mode" is actually a text-renderer implemented on top of the normal graphical mode? | 01:10 |
| josch | or did you do anything special to make it work? | 01:10 |
| - chomwitt (QUIT: Ping timeout: 244 seconds) (~chomwitt@2a02:85f:9a5f:900:1ac0:4dff:fedb:a3f1) | 01:27 | |
| minute | josch: well, i had to rebuild initramfs, i guess you did that? | 01:29 |
| josch | yup | 01:29 |
| minute | josch: what you're seeing is the "text" theme i think | 01:29 |
| minute | josch: i wonder what's going on there... is it just ignoring the "splash" maybe | 01:30 |
| minute | plymouth.debug | 01:32 |
| minute | > To write debug output into /var/log/plymouth-debug.log, add the following kernel parameter: | 01:32 |
| josch | according to https://sources.debian.org/src/plymouth/24.004.60-5/debian/local/plymouth.init-premount#L32 the "splash" parameter sets SPLASH="true" but SPLASH is already true by default | 01:32 |
| minute | ah | 01:33 |
| minute | what you could try is plymouth.nolog | 01:33 |
| minute | do at least not have the double cyan log | 01:33 |
| minute | my guess is this would make the boot look normal at least... (incl decrypt prompt) but not 100% sure | 01:34 |
| josch | okay, i now have 3k lines of /var/log/plymouth-debug.log | 01:35 |
| josch | the debug messages also scrolled past during boot -- it's a lot of text :D | 01:36 |
| josch | https://mister-muffin.de/p/TYuz.txt | 01:37 |
| minute | oh :D | 01:37 |
| josch | nope, still blue messages even with plymouth.nolog | 01:39 |
| minute | > serial consoles detected, managing them with details forced | 01:40 |
| minute | "details" is that blue log fallback "theme" | 01:40 |
| josch | oh true, that's a theme name | 01:41 |
| minute | josch: the log reads like it thinks the console is primarily serial, that's why it changes to "details" | 01:43 |
| josch | interesting why this happens on imx8mq and a311d but not on rk3588 | 01:43 |
| josch | oh i know why | 01:43 |
| minute | plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles | 01:44 |
| josch | remember how serial was not working on rk3588 because u-boot had the console= parameter missing | 01:44 |
| josch | maybe you would see the same effect on rk3588 with the fixed u-boot | 01:44 |
| minute | yep | 01:44 |
| minute | that's what i think, too | 01:44 |
| minute | can you try adding kernel param plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles ? | 01:45 |
| josch | a luks prompt in the center of my screen | 01:46 |
| josch | and a blue progress bar at the bottom | 01:46 |
| josch | minute: that was it :) | 01:46 |
| minute | awesome | 01:46 |
| minute | thanks for confirming! | 01:46 |
| josch | thank you for finding this! | 01:47 |
| minute | no problem, i just googled a bit on my phone while making sandwiches | 01:47 |
| josch | :D | 01:48 |
| josch | okay, so i'm reading plymouth code and it seems that the other way to ignore serial other than the cmdline is to run plymouthd with --ignore-serial-consoles | 01:52 |
| josch | i've had a look into where plymouthd is started but there is no way to pass additional parameters via a config | 01:52 |
| josch | but we could add plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles to the default ${bootargs} in flash-kernel/ubootenv.d/00reform2_ubootenv and u-boot-menu/reform.conf | 01:54 |
| minute | yeah, i think that should be harmless | 01:54 |
| josch | okay, but text mode is indeed the only one that works | 02:02 |
| josch | i tried changing the theme to "ceratopsian" the debian default | 02:02 |
| josch | and when the luks screen was to be shown i just got a black screen | 02:02 |
| josch | typing the passphrase blindly helped | 02:02 |
| josch | and then i got no login prompt and am now logged in via another tty... | 02:03 |
| josch | back to tribar | 02:03 |
| josch | unfortunately the colors of the tribar theme are hardcoded in src/libply-splash-core/ply-text-progress-bar.c | 02:08 |
| - jogu (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~jogu@user/jogu) | 02:14 | |
| minute | josch: ha, good thinking about the colors :D | 02:15 |

| josch | https://mister-muffin.de/p/iC9b.png :D | 02:19 |
| minute | lol why are these solid for you | 02:20 |
| josch | it's not much better with the irc logger :) https://mntre.com/reform-irc-logs/2025-11-07.log.html | 02:21 |
| minute | anyway, you know the ansi stuff i guess :D one could make 3 monochrome white bars, one solid, two striped / dotted | 02:21 |
| josch | ah okay | 02:21 |
| minute | for me it looks correct in the logger | 02:21 |
| josch | then i know what you mean | 02:21 |
| josch | the question is whether plymouth can be convinced to print these chars for a progress bar instead of solid colors | 02:21 |
| josch | maybe the progress bar code has to be forked as well | 02:22 |
| minute | josch: yeah, is that a theme "module" like the others? | 02:22 |
| josch | the thing is super bare-bones with no customizability through config options | 02:23 |
| minute | i.e. which one can also copy into a c file and register with plymouth | 02:23 |
| josch | i think to customize it, one would copypaste the code and build a new plugin from it | 02:23 |
| minute | right | 02:23 |
| josch | okay, ▒, ▒ and ░ might not work because the progress bar has text rendered on top of it | 02:29 |
| minute | oh huh. | 02:31 |
| minute | what's the meaning of the three bars anyway? | 02:33 |
| josch | i'm reading ply_text_progress_bar_draw() in src/libply-splash-core/ply-text-progress-bar.c and the three colors seem to be just an arbitrary fixed fraction of each other | 02:36 |
| josch | hrm... i tried this on the plain tty: | 02:37 |
| josch | for i in $(seq 232 255); do printf '\033[48;5;%dm ' $i; done; printf "\n"; | 02:37 |
| josch | and there only seems to be "black" and "gray" :( | 02:37 |
| minute | ah that's silly then | 02:40 |
| minute | if they have no meaning, then they don't add value | 02:41 |
| minute | ergo there should only be one color | 02:41 |
| minute | maybe the "text" mode already does that? i haven't seen it because first i thought "details" was "text" | 02:42 |
| minute | i would say white on black solid progress bar = best | 02:43 |
| minute | ok need to sleep! ttyl! | 02:43 |
| josch | good night! | 02:43 |
| + jogu (~jogu@user/jogu) | 02:45 | |
| josch | minute: got it! I just built a version of the tribar plugin with my custom 3 colors, so we could set two to white and the third to black and then have a white progress bar on black background :) | 02:48 |
| minute | josch: awesome! n8 n8! | 02:48 |
| josch | this can then be added to reform-tools | 02:49 |
| josch | probably as a new binary package because it will be arch:any (architecture depnedent) | 02:49 |
| josch | https://paste.debian.net/hidden/67e8d3f1/ | 02:59 |
| josch | that's just a white progress bar on black background | 02:59 |
