Hi everyone, been having some realy hard time with plymouth customizing
here...
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx... I was trying out some themes, but
realized that every theme that shows a progress bar doesn't properly
work... the boot process finishes and the progress bar is still around
15%.... even the ubuntu-studio theme installed from ubuntu repositories
show the same thing....
why?
and another thing....
since i wasn't getting a proper progress bar, I started playing around
with other themes, so I got the MIB-Ubuntu theme, and created seven
different backgrounds, named bg1.png, bg2.png... , my idea is that every
boot up/down one of these backgrounds would be randomly selected, so I
have added the following lines to the script:
randombg = Math.Int(Math.Random()* 6.9) + 1 ;
and
background.original_image = ImageNew("bg"+ randombg +".png");
it works, but everytime is the same background, the random function, is
using alway the same seed I suppose?
I've tried loading all images, and randomly selecting one of them, but
that only made de plymouth take a longer time to load, but still showed
always the same bg....

I'm not sure. You're not the first person to report this in Ubuntu and I
suspect the the boot progress file is not being saved correctly.
Remember, when you test a theme, this overwrites the progress file and
the next boot will not know what the progress is. So you will need to
reboot twice before the progress is displayed correctly.
Do you have "/var/lib/plymouth/boot-duration". What is in it?

Thats right, you need to seed it. I was going to add a seed function,
but then I would also needed to add a time function to make a seed. I'll
fix this soon.

Random gives a number 0<=X<1 so it will never be 1, so you don't need
the 6.9 instead of 7. Also, counting from zero rules!
