Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Everything works fine for me except during the shutdown splash.. I can see the image and progress bar, but they show up in ugly colors (only on shutdown).  This also happens to me with other distros that use splash screens.. the startup looks fine, but the shutdown is all jarbled.

Is there something I can do to fix this or is it unavoidable with my system (using an old radeon 9200 agp with 22" widescreen LCD)?

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Black artifacts are still present for me after boot with splashy-stuff7.  I am starting X at boot without logging in, and I have tried both of the methods mentioned in the wiki (mingetty and inittab line) to try to work around the pixelation.  The workaround that allows me to auto login to X without a display manager is "/usr/bin/chvt 1; /usr/bin/chvt 3" at the top of .xinitrc.

The second issue I had is the one already described by SiD:

SiD wrote:

. . . tty1 shows the "The System is going down for reboot / system halt NOW!" message and a blinking cursor. . . .
But the system doesn't  shut down or reboot. . . .
To Turn off the computer I have to hold the power button. . . .

This only occurs when attempting to reboot/shutdown from X at vc/3 (with urxvt).  Switching to an empty virtual console before running the shutdown command works.  An efficient workaround for me is to use the following commands when aliasing or binding keys:

/usr/bin/chvt 1; /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
/usr/bin/chvt 1; /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

And for those to work, my preferred user needed permission to execute the chvt binary.  To do this, I created a new group "chvt," made my user a member of it, changed the owning group of the /usr/bin/chvt binary to "chvt," and set the setuid bit on the binary.  I then added the following line to /etc/sudoers:

%chvt ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/chvt

And there it is, everything is almost perfect: the system merely takes an extra second to boot up and shutdown.

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

For me splashy at the shutdown don't work and stop the shutdown progress. Only if I open terminal as root and write: "shutdown command-h now" the notebook goes off well and make me see also bootsplash closing splashy. Also when I press "alt F8" the notebook goes off and make me see bootsplash closing splashy, but whit a error message. Bye

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Yeah, I got those errors too, and tried symlinking stuff, but it broke my boot up - so don't do it. Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

It is because the file paths have changed. Correct the file paths in /lib/initcpio/install/splashy

Edit:

Actually it is only filenames that have changed. /usr/libdirectfb-1.0.so.0 is now /usr/lib/libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 correct them and I'm sure it will work.

Doesn't seem to work. I still get following error during boot:

splashy: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only difference is that i can mkinitcpio without any errors.

Now i recompiled splashy and changed the file splashy.initcpio_install to the one posted above. Now when i try splashy test i get

Splashy ERROR: libsplashy: Framebuffer is not configured properly please see http://tinyurl.com/339h67
Splashy ERROR: Couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -2

Is there anything else i should change/recompile to make splashy work again?

EDIT: I've forgot to rebuild my kernel image with mkinitcpio tongue Now everything works. Thanks for help:)

Here is what i did to make it work.

1. Downloaded and extracted http://slexiw.netsons.org/files/splashy-stuff7.tar.gz and removed md5sums from PKGBUILD
2. Opened splashy.initcpio_install and changed it so it looks like this:

# vim: set ft=sh:
install() {
    [ -x /sbin/splashy ] || return 1

    THEMES_DIR="$(splashy_config --get-key /splashy/themes 2> /dev/null)"
    CURRENT_THEME="$(splashy_config --get-key /splashy/current_theme 2> /dev/null)"

    add_binary "/sbin/splashy"
    add_file "/sbin/splashy_chvt"
    add_file "/etc/splashy/config.xml"
    add_full_dir "${THEMES_DIR}/${CURRENT_THEME}"

    #shared libraries needed by splashy
    add_file "/usr/lib/libsplashycnf.so.1"
    add_file "/usr/lib/libsplashy.so.1"
    add_file "/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0"
    add_file "/usr/lib/libdirectfb-1.2.so.0"
    add_file "/usr/lib/libfusion-1.2.so.0"
    add_file "/usr/lib/libdirect-1.2.so.0"

    if [ $(arch) = "x86_64" ]; then
        add_file "/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"
    else
        add_file "/lib/ld-linux.so.2"
    fi

    SCRIPT="splashy"
}

help() {
echo "This hook includes Splashy in the initramfs image."
}

#EOF

3. Did makepkg, pacman -U and then mkinitcpio -p kernel26 (don't forget to change your theme before mkinitcpio)
4. Splashy works again!;)

Is splashy running slow/laggy for anyone else under the new stable kernel (2.6.26-2)?

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

It's probably not Splashy, but I'm going to disable it and test it out... could be a hardware/config problem.

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Ok, I finally got this thing to work.

Critical things that needs fixing:
1) See hash's post.
2) Switching to tty8 on shutdown. I do this using small alternate scripts for shutdown and reboot (remember to modify /etc/acpi/handler.sh).

Example shutdown command (idea taken from abstracity):

chvt 8; shutdown -h now

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Just tried this, works perfectly with the suggestions above.

Fallback to the default theme won't work though, because its directory isn't added to the ramdisk. You should add

DEFAULT_THEME="$(splashy_config --get-key /splashy/default_theme 2> /dev/null)"
add_full_dir "${THEMES_DIR}/${DEFAULT_THEME}"

to splashy.initcpio_install.

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

Well here's another repo for working/latest splashy:

[chakra-playground]
Server = http://mikko.likbilen.com/chakra-playground/i686

Use pacman -Sl chakra-playground to list contents.

Now if I/We could get rid of initscripts-splash and sysvinit-mod packages, that would rock.

EDIT: updated URL.

Re: Arch Linux and Splashy, a big update

I pushed some of this stuff to AUR in the hopes of getting it back into community.   I adopted the orphaned splashy package.   It now works out of AUR:

- splashy:  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10211

- splash-themes:  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19626

- initscripts-splashy:  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19624


I also updated the appauling out of date wiki page on Splashy.
