Has anyone got another theme working with gensplash? For me just default works: Code: | #plash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-1024x768 -r 1024x768 default |
Code: | append="video=radeonfb:1024x768-32 splash=silent theme:default"
initrd=/boot/fbsplash-1024x768 |
| oh, nobody noticed, I forgot the tiny comma between silent, theme:default.

Not that it really matters to me, but for one, there is no such option for bootsplash in an unpatched kernel (e.g. v2.6.11-gentoo-r6). Then when I tried to to merge the bootsplash package, I get a
Code: | gcc -O2 -Wall -L/usr/lib -static -o fbmngplay.static -L/usr/lib fbmngplay.o messages.o mng.o console.o /usr/lib/libmng.a /usr/lib/liblcms.a /usr/lib/libjpeg.a /usr/lib/libz.a -lm

!!! (no error message)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. |
I'm quite happy without bootsplash, but I thought I might mention that here.
Cheers,

|
|
I just added an incorrect initrd line and now I can't boot anything.
I've only got 1 kernel configured in yaboot. Pretty smart move, eh?
Is there any way to tell yaboot to boot my kernel *without* the initrd line?
I'd prefer not to boot off the CD and fix it because:
a) I can't find my CD
b) From memory I had a lot of mucking around to get my hard disk detected ( need to insmod drivers from somewhere ... I've deleted them ... my network is fully wireless now ... etc ), and even more trouble getting yaboot to work afterwards as a result.
Anyone? |

Sorry this is way late, and you probably already fixed it by now, but to boot other kernels in yaboot, just type the full path to the kernel at the prompt. So for instance if I want to boot with the 2.6.12 kernel and I named it 2.6.12-gentoo-r1 do this:
Code: | Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13
Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
boot: /boot/2.6.12-gentoo-r1 |

I have been able to get fbsplash to work with the latest splashutils and kernel on my iBook G4. (Previously I was not able to do so.)
Here is what I did:
Code: | emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6
emerge splashutils-1.1.9.7 |
I added this to my yaboot.conf under my kernel parameters:
Code: | append="video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60 quiet splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
initrd=/boot/fbsplash-livecd-1024x768
|
Then I did a 'ybin -v' and rebooted.
I created the initrd the same way they create it on the gentoo wiki howto. I tried this with both the emergence and livecd-2005.0 themes.
As another note splashutils are now stable for ppc, so this is why it probably worked... and I'm sure the new kernel had something to do with it. |

I'm not sure what value I should have for my video line, I've tried nvideofb that has not worked either. |

The gentoo kernel sources have used fbsplash instead of bootsplash for a while now. These pateches are mutually exclusive, meaning if you have one you can't have the other. The gentoo sources are alreayd pateched with fbsplash, so I woudl recommend using fbsplash instead of bootsplash. Fbsplash also has better features. |

I'm using gentoos-source-2.6.12-r10
but bootsplash_patch won't patch it , kernel version is not supported.
What kernel and version should I use, or is there an other solution ? _________________ Turns out the pony only had one trick. |

i really think you guys should try out gensplash, but if you like to play with bootsplash, grab the patch from here and patch it manually
http://bootsplash.de/
Code: | cd /usr/src/your_sources
patch -p1 < patch |
cheers |

@frameRATE: Concerning fonts, maybe THIS helps. Don't know if you're also using radeonfb.
So I leave the bootsplash thread. All concerning gensplash goes here... _________________ HP ZBook Power 15.6" G8 i7-11800H|HP EliteDesk 800G1 i7-4790|HP Compaq Pro 6300 i7-3770 |

Hi. I'm new here but I have been using ydl and now I use Kubuntu.
I have some questions.
Can gensplash be installed in Kubuntu? Can gensplash put a nice background pic in your ttys (like bootsplash does)? Do gensplash make both startup and shutdown splash screens (usplash only make a startup one, not the shutdown one)? Do gensplash cover the whole boot process (usplash starts a bit late leaving the startup unthemed for some time)? Do anyone here knows how to make yaboot be themeable like grub is on x86? And finally how did bootsplash performed in those same aspects? |

I have no idea if kubutu supports gensplash/fbsplash etc., their forums would be a better place to ask. For your other questions:
Quote: | Can gensplash put a nice background pic in your ttys (like bootsplash does)? |
Yes
Quote: | Do gensplash make both startup and shutdown splash screens (usplash only make a startup one, not the shutdown one)? |
Yes
Quote: | Do gensplash cover the whole boot process (usplash starts a bit late leaving the startup unthemed for some time)? |
Yes, but not until the FB is initialized.
Quote: | Do anyone here knows how to make yaboot be themeable like grub is on x86? |
You can only change the background and foreground color.
Quote: | And finally how did bootsplash performed in those same aspects? |
I'm not sure what you mean by this question. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

I'm using kernel-2.6.14-r2, iBook G3, aty128fb ( i think )
Does anyone know if the glib.c problem has been fixed? I cannot emerge splashutils without it failing on me midway through

Which glibc problem, the one above? There are header issues with 2.6.14 right now, is this what you're refering to? _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

I've been following the instructions from
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Manual_Compilation
in order to be able to emerge splashutils, however, this process still results in:
It finds my kernel source directory: /usr/src/linux
and sources for kernel version: 2.6.14-gentoo-r2
but after the course is unpacked I get
MAKE klibc
In file included from globals.c:6:
../include/errno.h:6:23: asn/errno.h: No such file or dircetory
make[1]: *** [globals.o] ERROR1
make: *** [klibc] ERROR 2
I'd love to be able to get this to work finally!
Thanks |

What was your problem exactly?
So i need to patch my kernel sources with that bug fix right?
Is there any other patches that I need to be concerned about? The last time I tried to patch my kernel was with the fbsplash patch from the about link which resulted in my kernel not compiling >> USERERROR lol
I'm new to gentoo, but so far i like what i see. Your help and patience is appreciated
Thanks |

This is a patch to the klibc build and does not require patching your kernel. It's actually a patch to work around kernel issues caused by the PPC32 and PPC64 merge. _________________ Gentoo PPC FAQ: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml |

Alright I have this patch on my box now, but i'm slightly hazy as to how i apply it.
emerge klibc doesn't work
So I need to apply it to where?
