This is fixed if you have plymouth-themes 0.9.3-3pureos1 (just uploaded) and fontconfig 2.13.0-5 (see T434 - needs fast-migrating into green).

re-closing this issue for now

Not related to T429a after all I think. I think I have a fix, just need to get back to my Librem machine to test.

Ah, wait, it *is* an unrelated issue: https://bugs.debian.org/897572

Or is this an entirely unrelated issue? Could do with some guidance here :)

Unfortunately, neither the udev rule nor the "setkeycodes 56 43" works for me. Any ideas?

I think it doesn't matter what keys you hit (as long as you press something) it will eventually timeout to some degree.

Re-opening. I just installed plymouth from green and it still has this behaviour.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7826 is in our systemd

So, I can reproduce this. ctrl-alt-f2 actually seems to work for me (in the sense that it restores the gui prompt)

@chris.lamb Thanks for the suggestion. I tried only Alt-F2 and it works no better (or worse) than button mashing without it.

@d3vid Can you try Alt-F2?

1. Rough starting point (comments welcome)

I downloaded the iso normally and pressed live (first option) and gave it.

How did you get to the Debian installer in that version? Because that is no longer a supported option to installing PureOS.

but, it was this version (2018-04-26) that I used and gave error.

You are using an old installer image, please use an up-to-date one like https://downloads.pureos.net/live/gnome/2018-04-26/ for installing PureOS.

There are now two threads in the Purism forum regarding these issues. In this post:

Going back, I did notice something that might be interesting. On the first reboot after the update, vt.handoff=7 is missing.

This was not fixed in the above due to https://bugs.debian.org/898511 ("git repository missing latest 0.9.3-2 upload")

Fixed in https://code.puri.sm/pureos/plymouth/commit/c6c31458c6e485c559c1757efbd6187a132f4a60 (uploaded as plymouth_0.9.3-1pureos1_amd64.changes)

wellton reminded me....The 5/9 update was the upgrade to linux-image-4.16.0-1 pkg. I failed to explicitly mention that.

Same problem here. My kernel is 4.16.8-gnu
