Hi,
I still got problems with splashy 0.3.13-1 .
Running Debian Lenny:
j...@jupiter:~$ dpkg -l | grep splash
ii libsplashy1 0.3.13-1
Library to draw splash screen on boot, shutd
ii splashy 0.3.13-1 A
complete user-space boot splash system
ii splashy-themes 0.4.1 A
complete user-space boot splash system
Kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64
j...@jupiter:~$ dpkg -l | grep direct
ii libdirectfb-1.0-0 1.0.1-11
direct frame buffer graphics - shared librar
I'm getting:
Splashy error: connection refused
Splashy error: couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -10
when booting.
I also get errors when /etc/init.d/splashy tries to start:
/usr/share/splashy/themes/default/theme.xml xml file not found
no error image at /usr/share/splashy/themes/default
splashy line 170 setterm not found
my /usr is at a dedicated partition.
setterm is on my system:
j...@jupiter:~$ which setterm
/usr/bin/setterm
And I confirm that Tim Richardson's hack make my splashy operate again:
"In the process of trying to debug this, I discovered that I can make it
boot properly if I create the file
/etc/directfbrc
and include this one line in the file
log-file=/tmp/directfb.log
"
I've been kinda struggling with splashy on and off the last couple of
weeks, but haven't really done any methodically debugging.
My experience has roughly been like this:
-Installed splashy, and it worked
-Changed theme, and it stopped working
-did a couple of #update-initramfs -u over again and it was back
-splashy stopped working again (unknown why)
-reset to default theme, didn't work the first boot but it was suddenly
back at second reboot
-total reinstall of splashy, purging before reinstall, worked
-change theme, stopped working again
-at some point I renamed /etc/rcS.d/S03udev to /etc/rcS.d/S03audev, and
it made splashy work again, but again it broke after changeing theme.
-resett to default theme today and started more thorough debugging, and
found this bug.
My impression is that 'something' brakes after shifting theme, and it
doesn't solve itself by going back to the default theme.
I haven't tried hardcopying the themes folder to /etc/splashy, will try
that and get back to you.
