thanks kano, i had this problem too.
I fixed fbsplash.install with your patch and rebuilt gensplashutils 1.4.2-2.
now gensplashutils 1.4.2-2 is also in my repo, and splash works again!

sorry, but i can's see, where is it ..., or how to get gensplash from your repo ...

i added

[pierlo]
Server = http://pierluigi.netsons.org/repo

into my /etc/pacman.conf

but nothing happens ...
(and if this [usrl]http://travmap.shishnet.org/map.php?lang=en&server=speed.travian.cz&alliance=t.m.a.%2C%20rvhp&groupby=alliance&casen=on&format=png&[/url] is your repo, i can't see it there ...

the url is correct.

then:

 pacman -Sy pierlo/gensplashutils

by the way, dtw is right, official packages shouldn't stay on personal repos. I just wanted to give a chance to get sooner the fixed package.

pkraw · 2007-06-05 15:03:55

Ohh, you're awesome guys, great work! I'll see my lovely console background again .

But I'll probably wait for official package. BIG thanks dtw for maintaining gensplash stuff, I can't stand splashy for now... Maybe in future .

dtw · 2007-06-05 20:33:00

fbsplash.install fixes made and rolled out across the board

boar · 2007-06-06 07:45:24

now, it works fine for me. Thx guys!

dtw · 2007-06-06 09:18:01

I've actually tested it now too so that's good

Flying Saxman · 2007-06-07 14:14:09

Yeah, thanks dtw! Now (with the new scripts and all) everything works fine. The silent-splash lasts even longer than before, so that you don't see the verbose-splash for a second before kdm starts!

Oh, unexpected bonus!

If you could do something to make gensplash daemon work, I'd be even more happier.

Simple "/etc/rc.d/gensplash start" produces neither any effect, nor any log messages. But when trying following sequence...

splash_util --tty=2 -m v -t darch -c setcfg
splash_util --tty=2 -m v -t darch -c setpic
splash_util --tty=2 -m v -t darch -c on

...I can get so desired console background image. For now I'm using some self-made script to do this for me, but it'd be nice to get it out-of-the-box, so if you had some spare time...

Once more time, big THANKS for maintaining all this gensplash stuff. It lets me not to look like complete computer geek when working in console .

dtw · 2007-06-07 22:25:38

pkraw - I'll have a look

I like the console splash too, more than silent splash in fact...which is a shame because that's what you need the kernel patch for

Could it be, that you still have gensplash AND gensplashutils? gensplashutils did not uninstall automatically on my pc, as I updated gensplash manually. So I had to remove gensplashutils and re-install gensplash by hand.

Yeah, that's also my main-reason for using gensplash! ^^

No, I'm also not getting it set and I don't have gensplashutils installed, so it's a problem with the gensplash rc script. Never really bothered me though, as I'm either in X or using the console with screen, so the other tty's don't get used.

Flying Saxman · 2007-06-08 09:43:32

I think you got an broken installation, because on my pc everything works fine:

# /etc/rc.d/gensplash start
:: Setting gensplash console images                                                 [DONE]

just tested it.

dtw · 2007-06-08 09:48:16

Everybody check where you gensplash.conf file is - it has moved from /etc/conf.d/gensplash to /etc/gensplash.conf

kano · 2007-06-08 11:01:54

kano@medivh/~$ cat /etc/gensplash.conf 
# Author: Michal Januszewski <spock@gentoo.org>
# Ported to Arch by dibblethewrecker <dibblethewrecker.at.jiwe.dot.org>

# Config file for splashutils from splashutils-arch

# drop to verbose splash on rc fail events.
# Please note - splash ALWAYS drops to verbose if fs check fails
VERBOSEONFAIL="yes"

# which theme to use, probably best left commented (the theme specified
# on the kernel command line is used)
#SPLASH_THEME="ArchPool"

# on which ttys should fbsplash be enabled? defaults to RC_TTY_NUMBER
SPLASH_TTYS="1 2 3 4 5 6"

# what font to use? defaults to what fbtruetype uses
#SPLASH_FONT="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/vera.ttf"

#SPLASH_TTY_MAP="1:emergence 2:ArchPool"

It says it's setting it for me too

sudo /etc/rc.d/gensplash start
:: Setting gensplash console images                                      [DONE]

but tty 2-6 don't get the image set.

pkraw · 2007-06-08 11:02:20

What did the kernel panic say?

Sorry for shocking you. It really did not happen ever before. But now it even happens with my backup-system which was not changed for a few month now. I found out, that it is a hardware-problem. Nothing with your kernel...

I suppose that's good to hear

Depending on the point of view. For your kernel it's good, so I'm happy, I found a working, up-to-date, suspend2+fbsplash-kernel. On the other side I probably have to replace some hardware and my socket A is no longer produced, not for mainboards and not for cpus so it could get a little bit expensive.

kano · 2007-06-09 14:02:38

I feel ya... I'm in the same boat if any of my hardware dies, besides the drives or vid card.
