Yes, I remember you.

Perfect.

No need for this. Splashy drops a file in /etc/kbd/config.d/splashy that's
supposed to be sourced by keymap.sh during startup. This will exit if
Splashy is running. Splashy will then run keymap.sh for you once the boot
process is done.

This process has been refined for 0.3.9 (which is to be released shortly).
0.3.9 fixes other bugs as well.

This happens when TTY2 gets corrupted with console-screen.sh running while
Splashy is running. Again, Splashy drops a file in
/etc/console-tools/config.d/splashy that's supposed to stop
console-screen.sh if Splashy is running. Please update to Splashy 0.3.9 as
soon as it comes out. You can also get the scripts directly from our Git
repository:

/etc/lsb-base-loggin.sh:
http://git.debian.org/?p=splashy/splashy.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/lsb-base-logging.sh;hb=HEAD

/etc/console-tools/config.d/splashy:
http://git.debian.org/?p=splashy/splashy.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/console-tools/config.d/splashy;hb=HEAD

These two scripts are important for 0.3.9. In fact, there is virtually no C
code changes in Splashy 0.3.9. This is mostly a release to include these
scripts for Debian-based distros.

Regards,
