Is plymouth working for anyone with F-11 right now?

In my case it seems to fail to load the KMS kernel module (intel.ko in my case) prior to plymouth splash is executed.

Is plymouth working for anyone with F-11 right now?

In my case it seems to fail to load the KMS kernel module (intel.ko in my case) prior to plymouth splash is executed.

Another problem is it seems to still use default.so.

[[ -f ${LIBDIR}/plymouth/default.so ]] && inst ${LIBDIR}/plymouth/default.so

The plymouth in F-11 seems to no longer use the default.so symlink. It seems to be copying the default "charge" theme into the image, but without the required two-step.so plugin.

BTW, why are we using our own plymouth-populate-initrd instead of using plymouth's own /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd, which presumably would do the right thing for its own version of plymouth? (Didn't try it yet.)

/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd should/will be fixed to use dracut syntax and will be used, as soon as dracut replaces mkinitrd. --

Because the original plymouth-populate-initrd script was full of useless (to dracut) code that our internal inst functions handled better and in a more generic fashion, so I trimmed it down to its essentials.
