It looks like it was removed from libdrm long time ago:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/include/drm?id=3a87b1f497cc201a6c37fcd779019560ab7746ae

and latest plymouth is still including that
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/tree/src/plugins/renderers/drm/ply-renderer-nouveau-driver.c

I would give this the thumbs down, VIDEO_CARDS="" USE="libkms" works just as well...

[Comment 9 Pacho Ramos 2013-03-10 20:51:47 UTC]

Just bumped version should fix this

fails the same

Removing nouveau from plymouth's VIDEO_CARDS works.

I can confirm that compiling runs fine when USE="libkms" VIDEO_CARDS="". I can *NOT* confirm plymouth works fine after that. Plymouth suddenly starts in the middle of boot process instead of the beginning after loading dracut's initramfs.

So, NO, it's still not working for me.

Plymouth starting late is a different problem. It stopped working for plymouth > 0.8.6.1. Plymouth 0.8.6.1 works fine on nouveau.

I suspect that http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/commit/?id=6fac021e66c97c950a1ddeccf57c11d183187239 causes late start.

[Comment 15 Enrico Tagliavini 2013-04-11 09:12:22 UTC]

Well I guess we have no choice but bumping it blindly at this point. Should work anyway. At least it doesn't regress for non-nouveau drivers here.

Maxim you can bump it to the tree. Thank you

[Comment 16 Andrius Štikonas 2013-04-11 10:21:29 UTC]

Actually Plymouth starts late for non nouveau drivers as well. It is probably the problem in dracut but it doesn't seem that anybody is working to fix that.

Version 0.8.6.1 works fine with all drivers. It would have been better to use that version for now.

Well plymouth starts when the initramfs / init system starts it. So if it does start late it is not a plymouth bug [and anyway not realted to this bug]. Feel free to open a new one and add me to the CC list, I'm anyway involved. If there is no bug about it, it is unlikely someone will work on it ;).

That said I might have a suggestion for you with the lastest version of plymouth we have in tree.

Looking at the code of plymouth dracut module:

if getargbool 1 plymouth.enable && getargbool 1 rd.plymouth -d -n rd_NO_PLYMOUTH; then

it seems you must pass plymouth.enable and rd.plymouth, or maybe plymouth.enable=1 and rd.plymouth=1 in the kernel command line [so from grub usually]. Mind trying?

Also: if you want 0.8.6.1 it should be easy. Just rename the current ebuild to the right version in you local overlay.

No that's not the problem. The problem is caused by that commit I mentioned in comment 14. plymouthd was moved from /bin/plymouthd to /sbin/plymouthd.

I have now replaced bin with sbin in /usr/lib64/dracut/50plymouth and everything works (no extra arguments are necessary).

Maybe a patch can be created to fix this? (But note that plymouth still stays in /bin/plymouth, only plymouthd was moved.)

Ok I can confirm there is a problem in dracut. The plymouth module looks ok to me, but the inst is not apparently. The generated initramfs is not consistent. Open a bug for dracut in the gentoo bugzilla, and also in the upstream one.

OK, I've filled #465518 and informed upstream by email (they asked me to do so). Could this bug be closed now?

thanks. No, this bug will be closed when the ebuild without the nouveau USE enabled will be bumped to the tree

Ebuild without nouveau use commited as plymouth-0.8.8-r1. Thanks, Enrico.
