 Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2003 5:07 pm Post subject: Custom console design switches back to standard |
 |
|
Hi @ll!
I installed a custom bootsplash and a custom picture for the console. Everything is working perfectly fine, until gentoo is done with booting. In that moment the console switches back to the old design (the same one, as it is on the live cd).
Another strange thing is this error message, which comes very often, while the machine is booting:
| Code: | | /sbin/rc: line 318: filter_environ: command not found |
I used the bootsplash patch from http://www.bootsplash.org/ to get my framebuffer running and since that, there is this error and i think the "switching" console design.
Any ideas, what i did wrong?

you have to edit /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf and change the theme you are using. The init script that handles bootsplash after the kernel boots is what's changing the console. If you tell it to use the theme you want to instead, it should work perfectly 
Right at the beginning of the file, it says:
BOOTSPLASH-THEME="gentoo"
change that to:
BOOTSPLASH-THEME="(yourtheme)"
Hope this helps

I don't know much about it other than the line I told you I suppose I should experiment, but everything is just the way I like it right now (I got an awesome fantasy theme goin' on - bootsplash all the way through gdm and X so I don't wanna mess with it too much.

It wouldn't make any sense that you play around with your settings ..never change a running system But thanks!
Does anybody else got an idea ..unfortunately i cant find the script, which is causing it. |

I'm trying to do the same thing. How do you stop gdm from blanking the screen just before your WM starts? I want to keep the background-image, as I use the same in my Fluxbox-theme.

Simply replace all (filter_environ; X) in file /etc/init.d/functions.sh by X. According to the webcvs the filter_environ thing was introduced in 1.24 and removed again in 1.29.... The function filter_environ should be declared in rc-services.sh - I don't even have that file.
Think this is a baselayout-related problem. When I installed the bootsplash-package I was told that none of the default-configurations matched my baselayout. I took the closest match to my 1.8.6.12-r2. The rc-script package is fetched by the baselayout ebuild. Maybe a re-emerge of baselayout might help, but as all other things operate correctly I'd prefer the above replacement and wait until baselayout-1.9 is out - with correct bootsplash implementation.

Well, couldn't resist doing a "emerge baselayout"
Result: filter_environ-messages disappeared, bootsplash kept working! (baselayout-1.8.6.12-r2).
