 Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 1:44 pm Post subject: splashutils, no progress bar, icons and console on only 1 |
 |
|
Tired to jam a lot in that topic...My problem here seems like I am missing one thing. This is what is going on.
1) When the system boots the splash I selected comes up but the progress bar does not move or fill and no icons are displayed. Then the normal boot information starts to get displayed OVER the splash until it pushes it off the screen. This happens with emergance, livecd-2007.0 and gentoo themes.
2) Once I get to my console and attempt to "alt + F2" to another console the splash is not present.
Seems simple enough.
/boot/grub/grub.conf
| Code: |
title Gentoo 2.6.20-r8-1
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.20-gentoo-r8-1 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@85 splash=silent,theme:gentoo
initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
|
I referenced https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-500781-highlight-8bpp+verbose+picture+specified+theme+config.html and https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-206778-highlight-8bpp+verbose+picture+specified+theme+config.html |

| I went into /etc/conf.d/splash and found the line you were talking about, I uncommented it and rebooted, still nothing on the other consoles. |

And that did nothing. Still only have the splash on one TTY. Progress bar is still nil. |

Hi
New instalation and the same problem with boot splash and missing progress bar.
additionally I`m getting following error:
"The filesystem mounted on / doesn't contain the /dev/tty1 device"
"which is required for the silent splash to function properly."
"Silent splash will not be enabled. Please create the appropriate"
"device node to avoid this message."
Any idea ? |

Can you post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/conf.d/splash? |

/boot/grub/grub.conf:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 video=radeonfb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@60 splash=silent,fadein,theme:gent
oo quiet console=tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash
I tried also with
CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
and same results
/etc/conf.d/splash

| Try removing silent and fadein from your kernel line in grub. |

I tried almost every combination removing silent and fadein also,
in my opinion problem is with this tty device, for some reason something is wrong with it.
And I have only problems to get correctly working silent mode with progress bar,
verbose mode is always working without any problems. |

Have you both double-checked that /dev/tty1 exists? I don't mean the one created by udev, either, but the one on your actual filesystem.
| Code: | mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount --bind / /tmp/mnt
cd /tmp/mnt/dev
ls -l tty1 || mknod -m 600 tty1 c 4 1
umount /tmp/mnt
rmdir /tmp/mnt |
That shell snippet will check that the appropriate device exists, and create it if it doesn't.
guiness.stout, I didn't see 'console=tty1' in your kernel line from grub.conf - you need it for splash to work properly.

| Very nice, adding "CONSOLE =/dev/tty1" to my kernel line in grub.conf worked. I now have a working progress bar. I however am still having an issue with the splash on other consoles. I'm curious if its not working fully also because I get no icons on the boot splash. Is it just that the gentoo theme does not have icons? |

So here are some more updates.
I get this when I boot.
| Code: |
* Setting framebuffer console images ...
Can't open config file /etc/splash/emergance/1024x768.cfg.
No verbose picture specified in the theme.
* Failed to set background image on tty3
[ !! ]
|
Then some commands with splash_manager
| Code: |
mastadon ~ # splash_manager -c demo -t livecd-2007.0 -m s --steps=100
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50
cat: /lib/splash/cache/daemon.pid: No such file or directory
mastadon ~ # splash_manager -c demo -t emergance -m s --steps=100
Error: Theme 'emergance' doesn't seem to provide a config file for the current resolution (1024x768).
mastadon ~ # splash_manager -c demo -t gentoo -m s --steps=100
mastadon ~ #
|
What some file contents look like now
grub.conf
| Code: |
timeout 30
default 0
fallback 1
# Splash image to show behind grub.
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

/etc/conf.d/splash
| Code: |
# Config file for splashutils.

# on the kernel command line is used).
# SPLASH_THEME="gentoo"

# What font to use? Defaults to what fbtruetype uses.
# SPLASH_FONT="luxisri.ttf"

# SPLASH_REBOOT_MESSAGE="Rebooting the system"
# SPLASH_SHUTDOWN_MESSAGE="Shutting the system down"
# Should we drop to verbose mode on initscript errors? (yes/no)
SPLASH_VERBOSE_ON_ERRORS="yes"

SPLASH_TTY_MAP="1:gentoo 2:livecd-2007.0 3:emergance 4:gentoo 5:livecd-2007.0 6:emergance"
|
And yes splash is set in rc-update to start on boot.
UPDATE: Forgot a couple things. All the files exists for those themes. Any thoughs on unemerge splashutils and themes and re-emerge them? Or just the themes?
