Description Graeme Humphries 2005-03-16 10:40:33 UTC
The bootsplash2fbsplash script is a little buggy. When attempting to use it to port over the Gentoo-Hornet and Lila themes from the bootsplash-themes package, I noticed the following problems:

- it expects jpegs to be named "verbose-[resolution].jpg" and "silent-[resolution].jpg", whereas many existing bootsplash themes use "bootsplash-[resolution].jpg" to signify the verbose mode
- It creates paths for the "pic=" and "silentpic=" sections of the configuration that look like "/etc/splash//[themename]

I had to manually edit converted themes to remove the extra forward slash and to add in the "bootsplash-[resolution].jpg" in the "pic=" config entry. As well, I had to manually symlink the "bootsplash-[resolution].jpg" images from the /etc/bootsplash/[themename]/images folder.

The script should properly autodetect the images used in the bootsplash theme, and instead of symlinking them individually into /etc/splash/[themename]/images, it'd probably be easier to just symlink /etc/bootsplash/[themename]/images into /etc/splash/[themename].

These issues should be fixed in splashutils-1.1.9.4. Thanks for reporting them :)

No prob. In the next month I'll probably reconvert all my themes with the new tools, and if there's any more problems, I'll file another bug. ;)
