Seems we have a small issue with disabling 'plymouth' on our current manjaro-tools 0.9.9 release. In XFCE-minimal we have it enabled for only systemd. It is fine for me that OpenRC disables it. So when it is set to false in profile.conf also sysmenu and grub needs to be modified, so we get rid off 'quiet' and 'splash'. grub, if I remember correctly is already fixed for that. Only sysmenu must be edited during creation of the menu.

Yes, its a small issue I forgot, and realized after release we need to clean up isolinux.cfg and perhaps set chroot/etc/default/grub.

In what way does "quiet" option disturb plymouth? Quite is just quite initramfs loading I think.

For plymouth you need quiet splash in isolinux.cfg and /etc/default/grub. To display text during bootup both variables have to been removed. We already have write_isolinux_cfg(). We simply should add variables like quiet="quiet" and add $quiet to the lines if plymouth is true. Similar for splash.

Afaik, 'quiet' option is set on openrc iso too, 'splash' as well.
That's why I noticed it, openrc needs "splash" removed, which is purely cosmetic doesn't do any harm.

yeah, I know. In thus you can find this:

       plymouth_bin = os.path.join(self.dest_dir, "usr/bin/plymouth")
        if os.path.exists(plymouth_bin):
            use_splash = "splash"
        else:
            use_splash = ""
        if "swap" in self.mount_devices:
            cmd_linux_default = ('resume=UUID={0} quiet {1}'
                                 .format(self.swap_uuid, use_splash))
        else:
            cmd_linux_default = 'quiet {0}'.format(use_splash)

If quiet is set, you don't see the text on bootup. So quiet has also to be removed. At least splash needs to be removed for sure. But on isolinux.cfg I suggest to get rid of 'quiet' too.

Just to summarize:

Plymouth needs splash but not quiet?
Never ever used plymouth, so no experience with it.

If we remove quiet, we get verbose boot on systemd, including initramfs, and just verbose initramfs on non systemd.

Plymouth needs 'quiet' so no text is displayed and 'splash'. To display text on bootup you have to get rid of both. 'quiet' simply removes any text display on bootup. 'splash' is used to display 'plymouth'. I already fixed it now.
