blog-plymouth

Replaces plymouth by blogd

The Blogd daemon can be used as a replacement for Plymouth in situations where a splash screen and/or usage of a frame buffer is unwanted. The Blogd is also a Plymouth agent. That means, it can handle requests for a password prompt by the system password service of systemd. The blogd daemon writes out boot log messages to every terminal device used by /dev/console and to the log file /var/log/boot.log. When halting or rebooting the system, it moves the log file to /var/log/boot.old and appends all log messages upto to point at which the file systems becomes unavailable.
