[Splashy-devel] Bug#454917: splashy: timeout during startup

[Cyril Jaquier]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.5
Severity: normal

Hi all,

I'm a new Debian user and this is my first bug report and use of
reportbug. So please, forgive me if I did something wrong ;)

Every time I boot, splashy hangs up after a few second (the progress bar 
shows maybe 5 or 10%).

1/ If I do nothing, after 2 minutes the screen switches back to text
mode and I can see:

Splashy ERROR: Timeout (120 sec) occurred while waiting for a message on
the Splashy socket

Then, switching to the second virtual terminal and typing a few random
keys make the boot process continue. However, splashy does not work
anymore (e.g. no splash screen during shutdown).

2/ If I press a single (random) key before the timeout occurs, then the
boot process continue. And then splashy does work as expected.

Regards,
