We should remove the log viewer status icon for a few reasons. * Boot errors are not user serviceable * Presence of boot messages doesn't really mean there was a boot error * We should have a more robust logging framework but this doesn't get us toward that * We don't want to have to support status icons in GNOME 3 * etc
Should be set: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/commit/?id=34c6f34c6d53ec0e2dc58fabfcf412d34709605b viewer: don't build viewer by default The viewer is useful for seeing boot messages after boot up. It does this by showing a notification icon in the event there is a problem during boot. Notification icons aren't as en vogue as they once were, however. Ideally, we would have a more structured and semantically aware way to deal with specific boot problems. This commit turns the icon off by default. It can still be built with a --with-log-viewer Bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30724 Reported By: William Jon McCann <william.jon.mccann@gmail.com>
