* Plymouth
|
||
Plymouth is a utility which shows an animation at startup or when
|
||
powering off a device, instead of showing only terminal things. My
|
||
Plymouth settings are set in the =nixos.plymouth= module.
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.plymouth = {pkgs, ...}: {
|
||
boot = {
|
||
<<plymouth>>
|
||
<<kernel-parameters>>
|
||
<<quiet-console>>
|
||
<<no-menu>>
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** Quieting Down the Console
|
||
First, I need to set a few kernel parameters to make displaying
|
||
Plymouth possible:
|
||
#+name: kernel-parameters-list
|
||
- =quiet= :: silences the logs in the terminal
|
||
- =splash= :: show the splash screen (in our case, Plymouth)
|
||
- =boot.shell_on_fail= :: sets =allowShell=1=, which permits the =fail()=
|
||
handler to drop an interactive rescue shell if stage-1 boot fails
|
||
- =udev.log_level=3= :: sets udev’s log level to =err=
|
||
- =rd.systemd.show_status=auto= :: suppress systemd status messages in
|
||
initrd unless boot is significantly delayed
|
||
|
||
#+name: kernel-params
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var params=kernel-parameters-list :cache yes
|
||
(mapconcat (lambda (param)
|
||
(format "\"%s\""
|
||
(s-chop-suffix "=" (s-chop-prefix "=" (car (s-split " ::" param))))))
|
||
params
|
||
"\n")
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
#+RESULTS[7a824c095f2934792b4a3749e56091a8603aaacf]: kernel-params
|
||
: "quiet"
|
||
: "splash"
|
||
: "boot.shell_on_fail"
|
||
: "udev.log_level=3"
|
||
: "rd.systemd.show_status=auto"
|
||
|
||
This translates into:
|
||
#+name: kernel-parameters
|
||
#+begin_src nix :noweb yes
|
||
kernelParams = [
|
||
<<kernel-params()>>
|
||
];
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
To further decrease the verbosity of the booting screen, we can
|
||
deactivate initrd’s verbosity and lower the console’s log level to
|
||
=err=.
|
||
#+name: quiet-console
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
consoleLogLevel = 3;
|
||
initrd.verbose = false;
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And we’ll show Plymouth immediately, skipping the bootloader’s menu.
|
||
We can hold a key to force displaying the menu, though.
|
||
#+name: no-menu
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
loader.timeout = 0;
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Configuring Plymouth
|
||
Now, we can configure Plymouth proper.
|
||
#+name: plymouth
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
plymouth = {
|
||
enable = true;
|
||
<<plymouth-theme>>
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
The only significant configuration I want to change in Plymouth is the
|
||
animation. I really like how it looks. You can find a preview of it in
|
||
[[https://github.com/adi1090x/plymouth-themes#previews][adi1090x's repository]], under the first pack. For this, I need to set
|
||
a theme package and the theme name.
|
||
#+name: plymouth-theme
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
theme = "circle_hud";
|
||
themePackages = with pkgs; [
|
||
(adi1090x-plymouth-themes.override {
|
||
selected_themes = ["circle_hud"];
|
||
})
|
||
];
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And we’re done!
