F19: GRUB and Plymouth issues

Sunday, 7 July 2013

Hello,

I've just installed F19 x86_64 from DVD.

The first issue is that the GRUB boot screen
* is only text-based (white text with a black background),
* and uses an inadequate text encoding since it shows question marks in
place of the umlauted "o" (i.e., the o vowel with two dots on top of it) in
the Schrodinger word

The second issue is related to plymouth.
The service plymouth-quit-wait is marked as failed:

plymouth-quit-wait.service - Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-quit-wait.service;
disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sun 2013-07-07 12:55:22 CEST; 5h
30min ago
 Main PID: 396
   CGroup: name=systemd:/system/plymouth-quit-wait.service

Any idea?

Thank you very much

Best,

-- Marco
