Since I updated to gentoo-sources 2.6.23 and started using uvesafb, I cannot use the F2 key, because it immediately triggers the "silent" splashscreen with the progress bar (VT1 when pressed second time, aso.), even when working in X. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot gentoo-sources 2.6.23 with fbsplash and uvesafb. 2. Press F2 (or Ctrl-F2 or Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F2). Actual Results: Silent splash screen appears immediately when F2 is pressed. Vt1 appears when F2 is pressed second time. (The usual action (like KDE Alt+F2 "run command" dialogue) gets triggered as well, as I can see when switching back to vt7/X) Expected Results: No other action triggered than the usual one. I tried not to use the external splashutils-generated initrd, nor the /etc/init.d/fbcondecor: it did not help. So I guess the problem must be already in kernel fbsplash...? The uvesafb driver is configured according to spock's advice with the v86d initrd compiled into the kernel.
If you aren't using the latest version of splashutils (1.5.3), please upgrade and see whether it fixes the problem. If it doesn't, please: 1) paste your emerge --info, 2) let us know what your kernel command line settings are, 3) try booting with splash=profile,<other_parameters_that_you_are_currently_using> and attach the /lib/splash/cache/profile file that will be generated after boot.

splashutils 1.5.3 do not fix the problem. Kernel command line settings: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc5 ro noapic video=uvesafb:1400x1050-16,mtrr:3 splash=silent,fadein,theme:crystal quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 Actually, there is NO problem at the moment - is it because I used the keywords "profile"??
No, it was apparently not connected to anything I can think of. The problem is back anyway. It just was OK once, when I generated the "profile" for the first time, so probably just a coincidence? Should I post another, new /lib/splash/cache/profile now, when it seems broken again?

Yes, please do. Also, please post it as an attachment instead of pasting it into a comment.
Created attachment 137275 [details] /lib/splash/cache/profile
OK. I cannot see any difference though. (Strange, I was pretty sure I also tried to kill fbsplashd once before too and it did not help. However, it helps now...)
(In reply to comment #8) Is this problem theme-specific? Could you please try booting with livecd-2007.0 and gentoo or emergence to verify?
(In reply to comment #9) Yes, it is the same with emergence theme.
Could you please try the following: - make sure there is no fbsplashd instance running: killall -9 fbsplashd - start fbsplashd manually: fbsplashd -t crystal - echo "exit staysilent" > /lib/splash/cache/.splash - check whether the splash daemon is running: ps aux | grep fbsplashd
Seems to work well.
Created attachment 137840 [details, diff] A patch to add some debugging info to the splash profile. Could you please try to build splashutils with this patch applied (put it into media-gfx/splashutils/files and modify splashutils-1.5.3.ebuild by putting 'epatch ${FILESDIR}/splashutils_exit_cmd_debug.patch' on line 69 (after 'cd "${S}"'))? Then reboot with the profile splash option to generate a new profile file. The new profile should contain info indicating what happens in the 'exit' command handler. If it does, please post it as an attachment to this bug.
I tried it with 1.5.3.1 straight, the patch seemed to be applied well. But nothing happens. Not even the first message. Should I rather try 1.5.3? (Is it ok that the fbsplashd.static doesn't receive any commands through the pipe, unlike fbsplashd? How does it get th exite command, then, and from where?)
(In reply to comment #14) > I tried it with 1.5.3.1 straight, the patch seemed to be applied well. But > nothing happens. Not even the first message. Should I rather try 1.5.3? The patch should work with both 1.5.3 and 1.5.3.1, so I guess there is no point in doing so. > (Is it ok that the fbsplashd.static doesn't receive any commands through the > pipe, unlike fbsplashd? How does it get th exite command, then, and from > where?) It's definitely not OK -- fbsplashd and fbsplashd.static should be identical as far interaction with 3rd party applications is concerned. If you run the test from comment #11 with fbsplashd.static instead of fbsplashd, doesn't it get killed properly? If it does, how do you know that fbsplashd.static doesn't receive commands from the pipe?
OK, sorry. I give up. Yesterday I tried to send the command to the fbsplashd.static and the "echo..." just hanged... When I run it now, it works. Probably it was just the original fbsplashd.static still hanging there since the boot, I don't remember if I tried to run a fresh one.
Created attachment 137907 [details, diff] A patch to log all commands received by fbsplashd. Please try this patch (the procedure is the same as the one outlined in comment #11). It logs all commands received by fbsplashd to the splash profile file. If fbsplashd hangs after receiving a particular command, we should be able to see which one that is.
I must be doing something wrong, but nothing new appeares in the profile :-/ The patch seems to be applied, I can even find the string in the binary... I don't suppose there's need to rebuild the initrd, is it?
Created attachment 138028 [details, diff] A patch to actually enable logging to the splash profile file. I'm sorry, I forgot one would need to enable logging in special way when it's used from inside fbsplashd. If you apply both this patch and the one that adds debugging info for the 'exit' command, you should get some meaningful data in the splash profile file.
Created attachment 138119 [details] New profile Ok, I applied all three patches, but... Well, you'll see.
It looks like there is a deadlock somwhere, probably in the cmd_paint() handler. Could you please try emerging splashutils with the 'mng' USE flag disabled to see whether this affects the problem in any way?
No. But I thought "mng" was essential for drawing the progressbar, which still works without it as I see.
Created attachment 138266 [details, diff] cmd_paint() debug patch Could you please try to generate a profile file with this patch applied? It should help us determine whether the problem is caused by a locked mutex.
Created attachment 138657 [details] splash profile All 4 patches applied.
*** Bug 202927 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Could you please try some manual debugging on the fbsplash daemon binary? Here is what to do: 1) emerge splashutils using: FEATURES="splitdebug installsources" CFLAGS="-O0 -g" emerge splashutils 2) reboot with fbsplash enabled 3) log in, determine the PID of the fbsplash daemon 4) start gdb 5) in gdb, use 'attach PID' to attach to the fbsplash daemon 6) use the 'info threads' command; the output will look something like: 4 Thread 0x40800950 (LWP 10498) 0x00002b94a6e11109 in do_sigwait () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 3 Thread 0x41001950 (LWP 10499) 0x00002b94a6e0db9d in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 2 Thread 0x41802950 (LWP 10501) 0x00002b94a6e101db in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 1 Thread 0x2b94a7676d70 (LWP 10497) 0x00002b94a73e6d8b in read () from /lib/libc.so.6 Paste it in a comment in this bug. 7) thread #1 is the one listening for the commands on the splash FIFO. Use 'thread 1' and 'bt' to get a backtrace. Paste the backtrace here. 8) use 'l daemon_comm' to see the code of the function that processes the commands from the splash FIFO. Put a breakpoint on the line that reads 'memset(&args, 0, sizeof(args));' (use 'b 578', where 578 is the line number). 9) let the fbsplash daemon run, use 'c' 10) from another terminal, run `echo exit > /lib/splash/cache/.splash`. Does this cause a stop at the breakpoint in gdb?
One more thing that has just come to my mind and which is much easier to check than playing with gdb. After boot, check /proc/mounts. Does it list /lib/splash/cache? Or maybe /lib/splash/tmp? If it lists the latter, try `echo "exit" > /lib/splash/tmp/.splash`. Is the splash daemon still running after this?
Nothing mounted. I'll try the debugging...

A few problems for a debugging newbie solved... so, for 8/9: no, both the daemon and the "echo exit..." command just hang running. Echo probably cannot write to the pipe at all, as I wrote before.

Seems to be OK: //lib/splash/cache/.splash mkfifo(//lib/splash/cache/.splash) failed. Can't open the splash FIFO (//lib/splash/cache/.splash) for reading: %s //lib/splash/cache/.splash Failed to open //lib/splash/cache/.splash: %s %s Failed to fdopen //lib/splash/cache/.splash: %s
I noticed one message when booting: * Finalizing udev configuration ... [ ok ] * Mounting devpts at /dev/pts ... [ ok ] ls: cannot access /lib64/splash/cache/deptree: nenA- souborem ani adresAĪŲem ("not file or directory" in Czech w/broken UTF8) I tried booting with "init 1" and it seemed to be OK. In lsof there was: fbsplashd 3783 root 6u FIFO 0,15 7985 /lib64/splash/cache/.splash In /proc/mounts there was: cachedir /lib64/splash/cache tmpfs rw 0 0 fbsplashd.static was still running when I logged in, but the "echo exit..." command made it finish and disappear.
Could you please edit your /sbin/splash-functions.sh, and in the splash_exit() function comment out the call to splash_cache_cleanup? After you do that, reboot and see whether there is any change in how the splash daemon behaves and whether the splash cache is mounted at /lib/splash/cache (or anywhere else) after boot.
- cache mounted: cachedir /lib64/splash/cache tmpfs rw 0 0 - fbsplashd.static still running - echo exit... works, fbsplashd exits
This problem should be fixed in 1.5.3.3. Thanks for your help in debugging!
Thank you very much, it seems to work well. May I ask whether this problem was specific to us (two?) only and why?
