[Solved] fbsplash error message

Hello!

I've been following the steps in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fbsplash

I installed fbsplash from the AUR. But when I do

splash_manager -c demo -t darch -m s --steps=100

I get the error message:

/usr/bin/splash_manager: line 900: //lib/splash/bin/fgconsole: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/splash_manager: line 944: //lib/splash/bin/fbres: No such file or directory
Error: Theme 'darch' doesn't seem to provide a config file for the current resolution (0x0).

Tried to find the config file for the darch theme, but don't really know what to do.

Thanks for you help!

Re: [Solved] fbsplash error message

when you restart wait for the grub screen and press e and check the 1st line it will start with kernel read all that line until you see vga=... if it doesn't then that might be the cause of your problem
