On machines with a slow CPU (Atom) and a highres screen drawing the diskcrypt dialog may take longer then the keyrepeat speed, this leads to a long delay before showing keypresses when doing the following: 1) Type long password 2) Realize it is wrong, press + hold backspace the key-repeat will now generate backspace key presses faster then we process them as main.c does an update_display for each press 3) Users releases backspace when we've processed input-length backspace key-presses, but since we were drawing slower then key-presses were coming in many more backspace keypresses are in the keyboard buffer 4) User types first character of the right password, this shows up up to a couple of seconds later because first we are still processing all the queued up backspace presses and doing a redraw for each. This commit fixes this by skipping the redraws in on_backspace when there is no more input left in the input buffer. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104714 |

plymouth - graphical boot animation and logger Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. The idea is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the computer is set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout the entire boot process up to and after X starts. Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface). In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded. After the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped to /var/log/boot.log. Also, the user can see the messages at any time during boot up by hitting the escape key. Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users. For it to work correctly, it needs integration with the distribution. Because it starts so early, it needs to be packed into the distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution needs to poke plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing. plymouth ships with two binaries: /sbin/plymouthd and /bin/plymouth The first one, plymouthd, does all the heavy lifting. It logs the session and shows the splash screen. The second one, /bin/plymouth, is the control interface to plymouthd. It supports things like plymouth show-splash, or plymouth ask-for-password, which trigger the associated action in plymouthd. Plymouth supports various "splash" themes which are analogous to screensavers, but happen at boot time. There are several sample themes shipped with plymouth, but most distributions that use plymouth ship something customized for their distribution. Plymouth isn't done yet. It's still under active development, but is used in several popular distros already, including Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu and others. See the distributions page for more information.
