Re: [gentoo-user] No progress indicator in bootsplash

 I've created an initrd with:

 splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/initrd.splash1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 gentoo

   ^^

 The splash shows up, but there's no animation in the progress indicator bar 

Does it indicate any progress? If you see a growing bar: works as 
designed.

 and no splash messages (like the live CD has).
Works as designed.

 (Fade-in and fade-out works though).

 Did I miss something?


Yes, you want to actually try out the livecd splash-screen:

# emerge media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd

and then buikd a new initrd.

In my experience, if you user custom messages (like your Cool,
huh?), the progress bar disappears. The same happened to me if I
edited the keywords SPLASH_BOOT_MESSAGE, SPLASH_REBOOT_MESSAGE and
SPLASH_SHUTDOWN_MESSAGE in /etc/conf.d/splash.

Hope it helps.

[gentoo-user] No progress indicator in bootsplash

2008-07-14 Thread Nikos Chantziaras
I emerged media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.1 (plus 
media-gfx/splash-themes-gentoo-20050429).  I'm on kernel 
2.6.24-gentoo-r8 (non-genkernel) with uvesafb and Support for the 
Framebuffer Console Decorations enabled.


USE flags for splashutils: fbcondecor gpm mng png truetype -hardened

I've created an initrd with:

splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/initrd.splash1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 gentoo

My kernel parameters:

---
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sdc1 
video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32,mtrr:3,ywrap 
splash=silent,fadein,fadeout,theme:gentoo console=tty1 BOOT_MSG=Cool, 
huh? softlevel=native

---

initrd parameter:

---
initrd /boot/initrd.splash1280x1024
---

The splash shows up, but there's no animation in the progress indicator 
bar and no splash messages (like the live CD has).  Just a static image. 
 (Fade-in and fade-out works though).
