Nothing special on the setup, apart maybe from using upstart instead of sysvinit. Just installed splashy and a theme (Debblack -- very cool) from gnome-look.org.
But a few days ago restoring from hibernation started to hang the machine when using the splash screen. I found a post by an user in some forum or bugtracking site saying that it happened because the kernel loaded splashy and then the resume script tries to load on top, but I couldn't work around that. yet. If I do, I will certainly try to find the appropriate bug reports to post the fix on. Anyway, the LUKS password dialogue is still very cool! :) On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 6:37 PM, Luis Mondesi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 9:05 AM, Cassiano Leal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > On Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 7:04 PM, Holger Levsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > >> > >> severity 468735 important > >> block 496444 by 468735 > >> kthxbye > >> > >> Hi, > >> > >> On Sunday 24 August 2008 22:31, Sven Arvidsson wrote: > >> > At the moment usplash breaks hibernation, which is a pretty basic > >> > feature for a desktop system.
