Thanks for the heads up. What's the version of plymouth thats having these problems? My current version is 0.8.0-~12. Should I check for updates or wait out a day or two?

i just did an upgrade and after restart i get a black screen, nothing more. anything i could do?

hi bruce,

if it is possible for you start your machine with a live-cd.

then link:

sudo ln -s /lib/libply-boot-client.so.2.0.0 /lib/libplybootclient.so.2

now, you should be able to boot again.

Continue with removing the link and getting the new upgrade (apt) for mountall and gdm.

I can see the update after running an update check

packages:
libplymouth2 from 0.8.0~-12 to 0.8.0~-13
plymouth from 0.8.0~-12 to 0.8.0~-13
plymouth-x11 from 0.8.0~-12 to 0.8.0~-13
(these were marked as available to download)

What's missing?
Thanks for the warning! I think I'll wait a few days.

It must be my lucky day, I updated this morning and for the first time Plymouth is working as it should, go figure huh.

[Vanishing]

I think its safe to upgrade now..

Damn, I missed it. Or can I still get the breakage feeling (even if this isn't something too tragic).
