 |
|
Hello all,
I'm trying to get PLymouth to work with no luck. I'm following the tutorial here but everytime I reboot I have no PLymouth  . The only thing I didn't do is the KMS for Intel cards because I cannot find :
| Code: |
<*> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics
[*] Enable modesetting on intel by default
|
But I have | Code: | | Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> |
enabled.
If I'm trying plymouth in a terminal using
| Code: |
# plymouthd
#plymouth --show-splash
|
It works....
My genkernel.conf as the lines
| Code: |
# Enable splashutils in early space (initrd). Default is "no".
#SPLASH="yes"
# Use this splash theme. If commented out - the "default" name theme is used.
# Also, SPLASH="yes" needs to be enabled for this one to one work.
# This supersedes the "SPLASH_THEME" option of /etc/conf.d/splash (in early space).
#SPLASH_THEME="gentoo"
# Installs, or not, plymouth into the initramfs. If "splash" will be
# passed at boot, plymouth will be activated.
PLYMOUTH="yes"
# Embeds the given plymouth theme into the initramfs.
PLYMOUTH_THEME="fade-in"
|
and I've run | Code: | | grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
after doing | Code: | | genkernel initramfs |
I don't know what I am missing here .
EDIT ok some more info :
I've tried adding `i915.modeset=1` as a kernel argument in `/etc/default/grub` but that did not help. When looking at the log file with `journalctl -b --no-pager | grep -i modesetting` nothing is printed which lead me to think that the KMS is not loaded anyway . I have an intel Graphic HD 5500...
Also
| Code: |
cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset
|
return -1, so KMS module
But it returns 1 if I have `i915.modeset=1` in the kernel arguments, Still no plymouth...
SOLUTION:
OK this is silly. It had a delay of 5sec before showing the splash. I added ShowDelay=0 in /etc/plymouth/plymouth.conf and it worked... I still have `i915.modeset=1` as kernel argument mind you  |
