 Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 6:17 am Post subject: splashutils vs. plymouth on OpenRC, grub-themes |
 |
|
Years ago I always had nice splashutils with a verbose background for the booting sequence and all terminals. These days are gone for a long time now, as splashutils does not emerge. Doesn't it have any maintainer? Is there any chance to get it built?
| Code: | | common.c:(.text+0xb7): undefined reference to `makedev' |
Gentoo has become a quite dark and pale world these days. Even if functionality counts the look-like is always a catcher also for new users. Every distribution has its artwork, and you need the framework to display it.
However I tried that plymouth. Too bad it only has a few themes. For creating an initramfs there is only genkernel-next or dracut. I was always using genkernel.
Ok, I switched to genkernel-next, merged the configuration and created the initramfs. However it fails to open my LUKS as it seems that all modules where missing at creation:
https://github.com/Sabayon/genkernel-next/issues/55
This genkernel-next fork is focussing on systemd, but should still work on OpenRC.
What about dracut, which is also focussing on systemd, is that a recommendation on OpenRC?
To get at least some color on the booting terminal, I tried setting up some grub theme:
| Code: | # grep -v "^#" /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Gentoo"
GRUB_DEFAULT="saved"
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="keymap=de splash crypt_root=UUID=e609e76c-419f-4677-ff00-872290730e6f root=LABEL=gentoo dobtrfs"
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt"
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/verbose-1920x1200.png"
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm" |
The resolution is not set, it is even worse than without gfxterm. I also tried without GFXMODE as this should also choose a resolution automatically. Same result.
However when starting grub I get an error: | Code: | error: Premature end of compressed.
Press any key to continue... |
I'm booting from SD card and that has enough space left: | Code: | # df -h |grep boot
/dev/mmcblk0p1 1,9G 65M 1,7G 4% /boot |

I am still using spashutils with a beautiful PLF theme from the ages of Mandriva and it works perfectly

Are you able to build splashutils with a recent portage right now? I filed a bugreport about splahutils: bug 631062

| I have had to "USE=-truetype" for media-gfx/splashutils since I don't remember when, but with that, it emerges just fine. |

I just wanted to chime in to this thread and say I'm experiencing this too. You have to set -fbcondecor unfortunately. I like the frame buffer decorations though. And I wonder if it's possible for a programmer to duplicate this? Ultimately I'm just hoping for frame buffer decorations.
EDIT: Oops, I think I spoke a bit too soon, actually it didn't compile with -fbcondecor either. This is the exact compile error I'm receiving.

Inspired by the original poster, I decided to give splashutils, fbsplash a new try as me too years ago had this running. It installed flawlessly, even with fbcondecor and truetype USE flags.
Added SPLASH_THEME="livedvd-12.0" in /etc/conf.d/splash, added fbcondecor in boot runlevel, modified
/etc/default/grub accordingly
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="linux mtrr:3,ywrap console=tty1 splash=silent,fadein,fadeout,theme:livedvd-12.0"
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/gentoo-grub-themes-master/gentoo_frosted/theme.txt"
Checked that framebuffere was set correctly in kernel (radeon in my case), downloaded and setup grub2 theme too, and fired grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
All good. Besides this https://bugs.gentoo.org/467936. |
