[Prob feature request] Plymouth compatibility on auto-select

[Hexality]

Basically the title.

Is there a way to re-enable plymouth? I know that bedrock tries to kill it in order for it to not obscure the init selection menu, but that makes no sense at all if the timeout is set to 0.

The current behavior has value even if the timeout is zero. Consider what happens if the user switches to an init that isn't configured to stop Plymouth: they may never see the login prompt. That said, not everyone leverages Bedrock's ability to swap out inits, and it does make sense to make your requested behavior configurable.

Until it's configurable, you can hack around the current behavior by either:

• Commenting out or removing the /bedrock/libexec/plymouth-quit line from /bedrock/strata/bedrock/sbin/init
• Removing or renaming /bedrock/libexec/plymouth-quit and replacing it with an empty file that has execute permissions.

Note this'll get blown away in a following brl update.

I only do brl update if explicitly necessary to avoid problems, so I'm good anyways. Thank you for providing the path, I was actually trying to find what was killing Plymouth.

is there a way to rename the original strata name? (ex.: from fedora (hijacked system) to something else)

brl rename but you need to disable the stratum first brl disable, so you need to boot via another stratum for examples see brl <something> --help
