Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.7-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi!
After upgrading to splashy 0.3.7, splashy fails to start with error code
-3 from splashy_start_splashy().
What is worse, several unrelated other modules fail to load afterwards,
e.g. all sound drivers (snd_*) and the WLAN driver iwl4965. This
effectively breaks sound and networking on my system.
I haven't seen any suspicios messages in dmesg or syslog that would
point to what exactly the problem is, but I could provide the output if
necessary. As a workaround I removed "splash" from the kernel command
line and the system works fine.
Regards,
Georg
