fbsplash not starting

possiblefool · 2011-07-05 20:56:40

Hi all,
I'm having trouble making fbsplash splash, I installed it along with the extras package as per the wiki but it wont start up. I've searched and read many a forum and blog but can find a fix (or anyone with the same problem for that matter!)

On booting grub starts, then tells me; /etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 706:splash_sysinit_splash_start: command not found. Otherwise boots up as normal.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

dumb question, but are you running a kernel with the patches included?

What patches? I'm running the stock kernel and my fbsplash works - followed the Wiki page.

Hi,
After a recent system upgrade fbsplash fails to run during boot. However
while shutting down i can see the splash. Its only during the start up
that I can't see it.
This is the /var/log/boot some days before the upgrade
http://pastebin.com/EbdYYb32
and this is the log after the upgrade http://pastebin.com/MkxLbRsT

Please notice the
"/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 780:
/lib/splash/cache/steps_sysinit: No such file or directory"
and
"/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 795:
/lib/splash/cache/steps_sysinit: No such file or directory"
and
"/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 796:
/lib/splash/cache/steps_bootup: No such file or directory"
errors that occur during boot(after upgrade). These didn't occur before.
Also after booting i did ls in the /lib/splash/cache dir and found that
the files are already there in the dir.
Thanks.

Perhaps this could be relevant: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 63#p957763

Merging...

Im currently using the latest stock kernel, from what I've read newer kernels shouldnt need the patch for fbsplash to work (tho if papul1993's post is anything to go by maybe the latest patch has broken it again?) I'm currently attempting to put a custom kernel together and have included the fbcondecor patch to see if it helps as the line my error refers to seems to be in a section referencing the patch, (first attempt tho, so it could be some time before thats working!).

That said it doent look like me and papul have quite the same problem, I get an error that it cant load the splash theme during start up/shut down, but the only specific message I get is the one in the OP.

hmm.... how did my post came here? I was searching all over the forum today morning.

Looks like our posts were merged as we both had fbsplash trouble on the same day papul.

I managed to sort my problem with the ever so technical solution of putting the theme in the right folder!

I'll leave the thread unsolved for you, good luck, I hope you find a fix!
