 |
|
I switched my bootsplash theme to 2007.0. Now, during the boot process, it can't stop repeating "Starting XDM..." and showing the Xdm icon. No other icon is shown. Any hint?

Howdy
I know on my system XDM is one of the last system services to start up. Does X actually
start on your system ? What happens when you remove xdm from the default run level ?

Yes, xdm (gdm) is automatically started at the end of the boot process. If I remove xdm from the default run-level, the same problem happens but with the "netmount" icon. The theme cannot stop cycling this icon. The progress bar works perfectly.

I have no idea if this will help, but I remembered seeing this and thought it might help. In the ebuild for splash-themes-livecd-2007.0.ebuild:
| Code: |
if ! built_with_use media-gfx/splashutils mng
then
ewarn "MNG support is missing from splashutils. You will not see the"
ewarn "service icons as services are starting."
fi

MNG support is enabled in splashutils. 2006.1 theme works OK. Only 2007.0 theme has the problem.

I have the same problem. Would be interested in any help on this problem.
Looking at the .cfg files, there are differences between the 2007.0 and 2006.1 version, but, then again so it is with the image-files.
Maybe it is time for an update? |

I found someone else with the problem on the italian forum. Again, no solution...
I opened a bugtrack entry:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182065
Still waiting for a reply.

Splashutils seems to be stuck at the end of the list of icons it is supposed to show.
Changed the splash startup from boot to default without any change in it's behaviour. |

But do you think it's a problem with splashutils or with this particular thème scripts? 2006.0 and 2006.1 themes have no problem like that.

It's a script-error. Have tried fiddeling with the script to figure out what the author has been trying to achive, and while the 2006.1 script is pretty easy to understand (although Idon't know the first thing about perl, which I guess is the language used) the 2007.0 is not so straight forward in the section that put the icons on the screen.
relevant section in 2007.0 script:
| Code: |
if [ "${P_ERROR}" -eq "0" ]; then
P_SERVICES="$(splash_svclist_get start)"
for service in ${P_SERVICES}; do
if [ -z "${P_ICONS/* ${service} */}" ]; then
if [ "${P_ICONTYPE}" = "mng" ]; then
echo "anim loop icons/${service}.mng ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_start ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
else
echo "icon icons/${service}.png ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_start ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
fi
echo "icon icons/${service}_started.png ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_started ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
echo "icon icons/${service}_failed.png ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_start_failed ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
fi
done
fi
|
Same section of code in the 2006.1 script:
| Code: | if [ "${P_ERROR}" -eq "0" ]; then
P_SERVICES="$(splash_svclist_get start)"
for service in ${P_SERVICES}; do
if [ -z "${P_ICONS/* ${service} */}" ]; then
echo -e "icon icons/unlit_${service}.png ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_start ${service}\nicon icons/unlit_${service}.png ${P_ICONX} ${P_ICONY} svc_inactive_start ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
if [ "${P_ICONX}" -eq "0" ]; then
echo -e "icon icons/lit_${P_RESOLUTION}_${P_ICONX}.png ${P_ICONX} $((${P_ICONY} - 34)) svc_started ${service}\nicon icons/lit_${P_RESOLUTION}_${P_ICONX}.png ${P_ICONX} $((${P_ICONY} - 34)) svc_start_failed ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
else
echo -e "icon icons/lit_${P_RESOLUTION}_${P_ICONX}.png $((${P_ICONX} - 4)) $((${P_ICONY} - 34)) svc_started ${service}\nicon icons/lit_${P_RESOLUTION}_${P_ICONX}.png $((${P_ICONX} - 4)) $((${P_ICONY} - 34)) svc_start_failed ${service}" >>"${P_TEMPDIR%/}/${P_RESOLUTION}.cfg"
fi
P_ICONX="$((${P_ICONX} + ${P_ICONW}))"
fi
if [ "$((${P_ICONX} + ${P_ICONW}))" -gt "$((${P_RESOLUTION%x*} - 40))" ]; then
break
fi
done
fi

Will look further into it |

The script looks more like a sh/bash one.  I'll try to look at it too when I have time.

Guess I found the problem.
| Code: | P_ICONX and P_ICONY are placeholders for where on the screen to put the icons
ICON_W is the width of the icons
|
As you can see in the 2006.1 script, the value in P_ICONX is increased with P_ICONW (the width of the icon) for each icon placed on the screen.
In the 2007.0 script, no such thing happens, ie. the icons are placed on top of each other and as such, we only sees the icon placed last, that is the XDM- icon.
Either the author means to place the icons in a row after eachother, if so he forgot to increase the P_ICONX of each icon shown on the screen
or
he wanted to show the relevant icon for the process happening at a given moment, and if so, he should have inserted a break in the code after the relevant icon is shown to prevent the loop from ending with the XDM icon every time it runs |

Nice guess! I'll take a look at it soon! I know that on the livecd, the theme works fine. Maybe I could diff the livecd script with the ebuild script.
