Hello Vincent,<br>thank you for answer.<br><br>>> 1) progress bar not working;<br>>><br>><br>> That may come from this steps:<br>><br>>> 3. changed /etc/default/splashy line<br>>> ENABLE_INITRAMFS=0 to ENABLE_INITRAMFS=1
<br>>> 4. regenerated initrd<br>>> sudo update-initramfs -u<br>>><br>This ended with no splash screen at all. At boot time I get these messages:<br><br>Reading files needed to boot...<br>(Re)generating splash steps for:sed: can't read /etc/inittab, no such
<br>file of directory<br>And usual text boot messages continue to appear with no graphics whatsoever.<br>> But this problem can come from the fact ubuntu doesn't have<br>> the /lib/init/rw directory, we use it to store the progress steps, you
<br>> may look at if this directory exists (a splashy sub-directory should be<br>> present too). Without this directory the progress bar can't work,<br>> except if you change this path in the splashy init file.
<br>><br>Sorry, I don't understand, should I change this path in<br>/etc/splashy/config.xml ?<br>And where do I create /lib/init/rw , in my root filesystem or in<br>initramfs image?<br>>> 2) "splashy test" fails with
<br>>> Splashy ERROR: Couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -2<br>>> and leaves crash dump in /var/crash<br>>><br>><br>> It's probably because you aren't root, try with sudo splashy test.
<br>><br>><br>This helped indeed.<br><br>With kind regards,<br>Ivars</blockquote><div><br><br>Hello,<br><br>I was working on this very issue last month. I got all that stuff committed to SVN. If you get the sources from the repository and compile a debian package, you will be able to run Splashy after making sure that you change /etc/default/splashy and point the STEPS directory to /dev/shm (the tmpfs that Ubuntu and all other Linux distros mount r/w during boot).
<br><br>Perhaps is time to release a minor release that addresses these issues.<br><br>I'll make sure Splashy is ready for Gutsy, before this is released ;-)<br></div><br></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>----)(-----
