This looks pretty neat. I have a couple of ideas for refinement:
1) Add end caps to the ring while it's being drawn (so the "head" is
rounded, tapered, or feathered)
2) experiment with Transition=merge-fade and see how it looks

Be careful here.
The Fedora logo has a lot of rules around distribution since it's a
trademark. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo . For instance, all fedora logos
shipped in Fedora, have
to be put in the fedora-logos package.

OK.

I started this as another animation (for my own use) with the ring and a
symbol of my own in the middle, and then wondered what it would look
like with Charge's "reveal" in the middle.

OK, I'll pull it from the web for the time-being and replace it with
just the ring.

Rounded endcaps added.

merge-fade with a transition time of 0.1 seems nice. I've also added a
brief "burst" to the ring's backlight at the start of the throbber. The
frames (ring only) are here:

This is a repost as the other mail got lost in moderation.
I have managed to get the language to a state where I can write my first
scripted plugin. There are hacks all over the place but at this point I can at
least see things that the language is causing which makes debugging at least
possible.
The code is atrocious as it is still all up in the air as to what the groupings
should be but it is settling down (all the file, struct and function names are
wrong).
The linked code[1] and patch[2] are against the plugin-rework branch. If anyone
feels like giving it a go then ping me in IRC for any help.
If it works then it should give something like this[3]:
Using this script:
index = 0;
while (index<10){
sprites[index] = SpriteNewWithImage("fedora.png");
sprites[index].xd = 10 - index;
sprites[index].yd = 1 + index;
index = index + 1;
}
random = 1;
fun update_logo_sprite (sprite){
image_width = ImageGetWidth (sprite.image);
image_height = ImageGetHeight(sprite.image);
if (sprite.x < 0)
sprite.xd = global.random % 5 + 1;
if (sprite.y < 0)
sprite.yd = global.random % 5 + 1;
if ((sprite.x + image_width) > 800)
sprite.xd = 0 - (global.random % 5 + 1);
if ((sprite.y + image_height) > 600)
sprite.yd = 0 - (global.random % 5 + 1);
global.random = (1 + global.random * 7) % 101;
sprite.x = sprite.x + sprite.xd;
sprite.y = sprite.y + sprite.yd;
SpriteUpdate(sprite);
}
fun refresh (){
index = 0;
while (index<10){
update_logo_sprite (sprites[index]);
index = index + 1;
}
return;
}
return refresh;

Subject: Plymouth custom initrd problems

Ray,
I am trying to add plymouth to a custom "busybox" based initrd we use for
diskless boots (based on uClibc's buildroot) but we eventually switch_root to
Fedora 11. I have updated the initrd with all the requisite files using
"plymouth-populate-initrd" and plymouthd seems to start fine. However the
plymouth --show-splash call does nothing. I am just trying to get VESA working
(vga=0x318) for now so no fancy modesetting or kernel modules are required. My
guess is that Nash does something different when setting up the initial
terminals compared to busybox's "sh" implementation that plymouth doesn't like.
In particular the tty that my "init" script uses is set to /dev/console. Maybe
I need it to be tty0 for plymouth? I tried setting the tty using the kernel
option "console=tty0" but it looks like busybox's "sh" doesn't respect that. In
the Fedora initrd I noticed that there is a "/lib/udev/console_init tty0"
command right before plymouthd starts.
Here's a snippet of the relevant part of the debugging output from "plymouthd
--debug" after issuing the "plymouth --show-splash" command:
<snip>
[main.c] add_windows_to_boot_splash:There are 1 windows in list
[main.c] start_boot_splash:showing plugin
[ply-boot-splash.c] ply_boot_splash_show:showing splash screen
[./plugin.c] hide_splash_screen:hiding splash screen
[./plugin.c] detach_from_event_loop:detaching from event loop
[./main.c] quit_splash:quiting splash
<snip>
I have checked the other email thread (Gentoo) where you outlined the boot
process and have checked that I am setting up the devices correctly. I have
"rhgb" and "vga=0x318" in the kernel command line. Any insight or pointers you
can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Daire
