Description Kevin Dominik Korte univentionstaff 2013-02-25 10:33:51 CET
When an fscheck runs into an error, it displays the corresponding message on top of the bootscreen. The display line however is to short for the full information. Neither the option fix nor the error description are shown. The only option fully visible is skip which can lead to additional Problems after the boot is completed.

A customer has already reported a broken file system. It therefore would be good, if at least the Fix option is displayed.

Maybe we can simply disable Plymouth in that case

From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth :

Special FSCK messages

The Ubuntu Plymouth theme supports a "special" message that allows mountall to display fsck progress messages ("fsck is 20% complete"). You can make use of this functionality by using a special message format:

  sudo plymouth --update=fsck:sda1:27

This will display a message like:

  Checking disk 1 of 1 (27% complete)
Comment 3 Felix Botner univentionstaff 2014-05-07 16:20:03 CEST
Fixed our plymouth script. Status message (running filesystem check) and "action" messages (press C to abort) are now handled/displayed separately.

For the QA please use a desktop image:

1. Force a fsck on next boot by running "touch /forcefsck"

2. Force an unclean fsck state with "debugfs -w -R "ssv state 2" $PARTITION

The additional information is currently shown as white text on light blue/white background, and hard to read.

The background color should be changed -> REOPENED
