Also, the /tmp/directfbrc hack fixes it just the same.
I wonder why there was so much confidence that a fix was found. Have the
developers managed to reproduce the bug yet on their own
I changed splashy_video.c to enable directFB debug and info messages to
console.
I see an error when init_font tries video.dfb-CreateFont
The first attempt at this always fails. It's the second attempt which
seems interesting.
the message from directFB is
(!) Direct/Interface Could not open
Neil,
hi. I'm the original reporter, although by now I think it is clear that
many people see this bug. For me, it is 100% reproducible.
I only use stock Lenny i386 kernels, and I don't have /usr on a separate
partition. I certainly use initramfs, since I'm using a stock kernel.
I reproduce this
Thanks to #splashy and Mattkijs Kooijman, we have a solution.
It's not a very good solution, but it proves we know what the problem
is:
The solution is to delay the init process for one or two seconds after
splashy boot
ie change /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/splashy
and
By the way, if you change the script in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/...
per my last comment,
you also need to do
update-initramfs -u

The original launchpad report doesn't mention data loss, but it does
indicate a bug in Nautilus which causes 'inconvenience'. However,
Windows users probably have similar but not identical problems.
According to that report
1. NTFS is case-sensitive, so the underlying file system is case
I've made a version of splashy which uses a signal to exit rather than
wait a whole second in the local-premount script. I'll test it more
thoroughly tonight my time and then send patches.

I just noticed that this Debian bug refers to ext3 shares mounted via
Samba, whereas the Ubuntu launchpad discussion is about NTFS shares.
The debian report (above) is correct with the default settings for a
samba share.
However, the correct behaviour is easily reached: modify the samba share
so
As indicated already, please consider this patch for the next version of
splashy. It replaces the sleep in the script, and only holds up init for
the time necessary (certainly less than 0.5 s and perhaps only 0.1 s)

I think a delay of 1 second is probably five times too long even in
worst cases, but if I didn't make mistakes in the code, it won't matter
because a signal will arrive quickly.
Slower machines don't necessarily make the race condition more likely to
occur.
The window of error is only the
What a good bug report.
I attach a patch which stops the crash, and leaves it up to the theme
definition to enable the text area.
