Hi all, I've wrote a proof of concept of a simple boot status for systemd. Yeah, I know fedora folks have their super-duper plymouth, but I don't want such thing just to show some progress.
My current version is at http://git.profusion.mobi/cgit.cgi/gustavo/systemd-bootstatus/ and provides a simple text-version. By default itwill allocate tty12, clear the screen and draw a small ascii box in the center with the current progress it polls every 0.1s. The final binary is around 16kb stripped, so quite simple and should not impact your boot. Later on I plan to add a fbdev output and even later on, if time allows, I plan to add a version with kms. NONE of these will include image or font support, they will just setup the graphics mode and draw a progress bar. The idea is not to link with libraries that are not required (otherwise I'd use EFL, that is much simpler and efficient that all the replication done in plymouth BTW). The project contains a very simple ad-hoc makefile, after I have some more code I will add autoconf to it. Any input and patches are appreciated. Lennart: do you mind adding a simple property NFailedJobs? It would be very helpful :-) BR, -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
