[Splashy-devel] Bug#486400: Splashy works with hibernation, but ...

[Eric Doviak]

This is interesting:  Splashy really does work with hibernation!

I have Splashy (almost) completely configured. I left the "splash = y" 
line in my /etc/uswsusp.conf file and I set the "vga=791" argument -- 
but NOT the "splash" argument -- on the kernel line of my 
/boot/grub/menu.lst file.

When shutting down and when starting after a complete shutdown, I 
obviously do not see the splash screen, but when I hibernate or when I 
resume from hibernation, I see the splash screen and it works rather well.

I really hope you can fix this bug in time for Lenny's release and I'd 
like to help you if I can. I've been looking at Splashy and uswsusp's 
source code. I'm trying to understand it, but I don't know C, so it 
ain't easy. Nonetheless, if there's anything I can do to help, please 
let me know.

Thanks,
- Eric


Here's my  /etc/uswsusp.conf  file:

# /etc/uswsusp.conf(8) -- Configuration file for s2disk/s2both
resume device = /dev/hda5
splash = y
compress = y
early writeout = y
image size = 488091648
RSA key file = /etc/uswsusp.key
shutdown method = platform


and here are the relevant lines from my  /boot/grub/menu.lst  file:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=791
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
