hehe tongue, not really my idea anyway i've definitely seen it before somewhere.

You mean just with the logo? or with an extra progress bar? the documentation for themes is pretty good at the berlios site but I could do a mockup if you want.

Good idea, I don't actually have fbcondecor anymore so i've never tested the verbose background tongue.

Don't bother - your theme is to much klingon style anyway for me. tongue
You might try to mod the darch theme making a double progress bar left and right of the logo if that is possible and you get bored. cool

Tip: I just kept my old fbcondecor 2.6.28 (with firmware removed) for testing beside the stock kernel and bumped the nvidia package.

Re: fbcondecor vs. practicality

The splash switches from silent to verbose splash again, when switching from runlevel S to 3.
How can I fix this?

If you see something like this

:: Starting Syslog-NG                                                                     [FAIL]

and don't want be kicked to tty1: There is a setting for you in /etc/conf.d/fbsplash wink

You could try with

SPLASH_VERBOSE_ON_ERRORS="no"

but if you've got no FAIL i can see no reason for this because all stuff triggering verbose mode is in stat_fail() in /etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash.sh. Do you use pkgver 24 ? Which was the latest working ? Did you change or install any other things ?

Re: fbcondecor vs. practicality

New version 25 - Fixed a typo in inithooks.

mini: I don't know if this fixes your problem. Does it really happen right after sysinit ? Do you have

SPLASH_STAY_SILENT="yes"

in your /etc/conf.d/fbsplash ?

Re: fbcondecor vs. practicality

I have change to
SPLASH_VERBOSE_ON_ERRORS="no"
and now the splash not switches from silent to verbose splash again, but I do not understand why since I have not got any FAIL.
I am able to switch back to silent using F2.
BTW. The splash starts very late, after the udev has started. Is this normally?

Preparing a new version for testing this...

You could try with

SPLASH_START_EARLY="yes"

But that is experimental stuff. hmm

Re: fbcondecor vs. practicality

I guess he COULDN'T find SPLASH_DISABLE_SVC_EVENTS.
@mini
That's because fbsplash from pkgver 26 is saved as fbsplash.pacnew. You should follow the instructions from install script and merge fbsplash with fbsplash.pacnew

@hash Thank you, I have fixed the fbsplash.

I have one question more. The progress bar is going at ones to 100%. How can I fix this?

How did you solve the problem ? Did the new option the trick ? If so, what exact theme package do you use ?
The number of steps is counted each time the splash progress is running and stored in /etc/splash/fbsplash_bootsteps and /etc/splash/fbsplash_shutdownsteps. Each message [BUSY]->[DONE] is counted as one step. So if you don't change your configuration or use a different runlevel this should fix itself on next boot. smile
