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

[Anthony Callegaro]

Hey Cyril and Julien,

It seems that the issue you are having is a known problem.
See /usr/share/doc/splashy/README.gz :

I believe this should be solved in Splashy 0.3.7-1 (bug #383060 ?) but
you are still using splashy 0.3.5 like me and other unfortunate amd64
users :o)

Be aware that the above workaround will disable your keyboard during
boot up.

I guess we just have to wait for 0.3.7-1 to build on amd64.

Hope this help
Cheers
