 |

I'm running ~amd64 on my laptop. Before you make some smart-ass sarcastic remark, I know what I'm doing is risky. However, I've been running ~arch for over 6 years and have experienced only minor issues.
That said, yesterday when I updated my system sys-apps/tuxonice-userui-1.1 was one of the packages in the cue. It built and installed as expected, however, now when I hibernate or resume from hibernation my beautiful fbsplash is missing. All I get is a black screen and nothing indicating progress. The result is similar to the standard Suspend2 hibernation on an unpatched kernel. It does succeed in properly hibernating and resuming, but I want find a way to get my fbsplash screen back.
I filed this bug report yesterday https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439120 but I hope someone here could help point me in the right direction in getting this issue resolved.
Previous versions of tuxonice-userui installed the executables, 'tuxoniceui_text' and 'tuxoniceui_fbsplash' in '/sbin'. The new version only installs one executable, 'tuxoniceui' in '/sbin'.
Running 'tuxoniceui --help' gives the following output:
| Code: | "Usage: /sbin/tuxoniceui [options]
-t, --test
Specifying -t once will give an demo of this module.
Specifying -t twice will make the demo run as fast as it can.
(useful for performance testing).
-f
Use fbsplash interface by default.
TuxOnIce UserUI version 1.1 (modules:text )" |
However, when I invoke 'tuxoniceui -f' the beautiful fbsplash I've used for a couple of years no longer works. All I get is a black screen with no verbose text or output indicating progress. It's identical if I invoke 'hibernate' from the KDE shutdown menu.
Even worse, the help and setup info in '/usr/share/doc/tuxonice-userui-1.1/' is little changed from the previous version, so is of no help in resolving this.
Previously, all one had to do with either pm-utils or laptop-mode-tools installed, is compile the patched kernel with the needed options and location of the TOI executable. Previously this was '/sbin/tuxoniceui_fbsplash'. The only other thing needed was to echo '/sbin/tuxoniceui_fbsplash' into '/sys/power/tuxonice/user_interface/program'.
I've tried recompiling my kernel with '/sbin/tuxoniceui' and '/sbin/tuxoniceui -f' as well as trying both lines in '/sys/power/tuxonice/user_interface/program' but without success.
Obviously, something in this new version is breaking compatibility with my existing fbsplash or with current userspace tools.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
