Hello Folks,
Did someone knows how to enable and activate Plymouth on OpenSuse 11.2?
Found it here, http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:gryffus:branches:home:etrash:plymouth/openSUSE_11.2/plymouth.ymp.
Thanks in advance
Up!
I still need a step by step solution for OpenSUSE 11.3. If anybody could share?
Thanx

if no one answers that could mean that no one who saw your post knows
how…
i’d never heard of Plymouth before (except for the one made by
Chrysler)…and having now spent about 15 minutes googling and looking
i can’t say i understand the benefit…
but, if you know there is a benefit (and no apparent openSUSE guru who
frequents this forum knows now to use it) then keep working at it
until you become the guru who will write the step-by-step how-to for
our wiki/forum…
among those things i found by google included less than 150 mentions
in all of opensuse.org land:
including some /home repos mentioned…i don’t know exactly how that
works but i guess you need to find someone named “etrash”…you can PM
him/her…which might bring more results than sitting and waiting for
another nine months…

Where have you been the past 2 years ? 
Try to boot a Fedora box, you’ll see what it is useful for.
And as I explained in the FR forums, it’s more complicated to integrate plymouth than “just” install a few RPM. Plymouth take over the graphical boot even before the filesystem is mounted, so it need closer integration with the initrd and the video drivers (thanks KMS!). Hopefully, it will finds its way in the 11.4 release.

here trying to help new to openSUSE folks get going…which does not
include the need to know anything about everything going on in Fedora,
Ubuntu, Mint, etc or even Windows and other non-openSUSE systems…
last time i booted Fedora was about two days after i “discovered” SuSE
9.2 (which arrived in my mailbox attached to a Linux rag–hmmmm, it
may have been 9.1)
so, what is the benefit?
(let me guess it adds neither stability nor capability, rather only
changes its ‘looks’ yipee!!)

Plymouth is the 2nd most voted feature in openFATE and Spyhawk started the implementation of it already. So far it’s working, though it needs a lot of tunning. I would dare to claim that fast boot with Plymouth on openSUSE 11.3 (GDM/GNOME) is faster than in Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14 Betas (it’s not final software and therefore the final version might bring substantial performance improvements).
Spyhawk has wrote a good article about Plymouth integration and it most likely will be integrated for 11.4. I havent talked much with Spyhawk and everyone else involved in the process (as Xorg, GDM, KDM, nouveau, radeon and intel (driver) and base packages need some tweaking for the implementation), but I hope we can run a Factory Beta later on for the experienced users and enthusiasts from the community.
I would like at a personal level to leave a special thanks to the community which has voted on Plymouth on openFATE, and we are working to serve in the best way the community. I would also like to leave a word of thanks to Ray Strode from Red Hat for all the awesome work he has placed on Plymouth.
As a side note, I’m testing plymouth with ATI fglrx and it works very good with KMS. Also a kind word of gratitude to the ATI people who are working on fglrx.
Just discovered the great work that Spyhawk started via the weekly newsletter.
Just one word : wow !
I’d like to be a part of this and help as much as i can by testing the WIP.
Good work spyhawk.
