| Summary | 0009198: Language issue with Plymouth package | ||||
| Description | Subject: System Locale Dependency Issue in Plymouth Package Script During Initramfs Generation Dear Kali Linux Team, I am writing to report a locale-dependent issue I encountered during system updates and fresh installations. Problem Description: E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1 This manifests as missing boot splash graphics. However, switching system locale to en_US. UTF-8 allows successful initramfs regeneration via: sudo update-initramfs -u with normal Plymouth functionality restored. Reproduction Steps: Perform a new installation in virtualbox using kali-linux-2025-W22-installer-amd64, with the language being Simplified Chinese Observed package installation failures related to plymouth Installation succeeds when using English (US) locale Verified same behavior in Kali Purple environment Supporting Evidence: Attached troubleshooting package contains: VirtualBox installation logs (When the language is simplified Chinese) apt update error outputs Technical Observations: The issue appears specific to zh_CN. UTF-8 locale configuration Plymouth script failure persists across different environments: I would be glad to provide additional diagnostics or testing assistance. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] for any further information required to investigate this locale-specific dependency issue. Thank you for maintaining this exceptional security platform. I appreciate your time in addressing this matter. Best regards, | ||||
