 Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2004 11:03 am Post subject: How do I remove bootsplash booting text? |
 |
|
Hi.
Some of my favorite bootsplash screens have that text "Booting... Press F2 for Verbose Mode" in the picture. But kernel also displays the same thing over the picture. Is there a way to prevent that text from being displayed while booting? Can I optionally control the text position (x and/or y)?
TIA.

Hi VinZc I suggest to look at /etc/bootsplash.conf there are the status messages

Aaaaah <relief>, I've got a first theme to work completely  . My favorite theme is DangerGirl from http://www.bootsplash.de. It comes with a config file and two images (verbose & silent). The trick was to set PROGRESS_BOOT_MESSAGE in /etc/conf.d/bootsplash to a string containing only spaces.
But I also wanted to go a little bit further. I ran splash -s -f my_theme_config_file > /boot/initrd-resXxY but couldn't change the text "Booting... Press F2 (bla bla bla)" to move. All I had to do was set BOOTSPLASH_THEME to my_theme. Now I can even change the text position and color.
There is something I don't understand however. If I have to specify which config file splash.bin is going to parse, why does the theme have to be specified in /etc/conf.d/bootsplash?
Note I'm running Gentoo 2.4.26. My bootsplash image is correctly displayed although I don't run /etc/init.d/bootsplash at startup.
Here's splash (binary) config file:
| Code: | BOOTSPLASH_THEME="themes/DangerGirl"
BOOTSPLASH_STOP_ON_ERROR="no" |
And here's themes/DangerGirl config file:
| Code: | # This is a bootsplash configuration file for
# linux bootsplash theme 'DangerGirl', resolution 1024x768.
# made by RaverJK
# config file version
version=3
# should the picture be displayed?
state=1
# fgcolor is the text forground color.
# bgcolor is the text background (i.e. transparent) color.
fgcolor=7
bgcolor=0
# (tx, ty) are the (x, y) coordinates of the text window in pixels.
# tw/th is the width/height of the text window in pixels.
tx=10
ty=10
tw=872
th=690
# ttf message output parameters
text_x=204
text_y=610
text_size=26
text_color=0xbd731a
# name of the picture file (full path recommended)
