When I try to use the splash_manager to run a demonstration of any theme, I get the error: Error: Splash daemon not running! And I find this in dmesg: fbsplashd.stati[8472]: segfault at ff595955 eip 0813f257 esp bfdb4508 error 4 Steps to reproduce: 1. Emerge splashutils-1.5.4.1, splash-themes-gentoo, baselayout-2.0.0 and openrc-0.2.5 2. Create the initramfs, reboot 3. fbsplash and fbcondecor are working correctly 4. splash_manager -c demo -t gentoo -m s --steps=100 This is only annoying because i wanted to build my own theme, and testing the silent splash is quite difficult now.

Does `splash_manager -c demo -t gentoo` work? If not, could you please try to boot with splash=<options>,profile and then run `splash_manager -c replay -t gentoo` to see whether that works?
FYI: Due to a hardware error, my Gentoo is runs now in a VMWare, using the amd64 arch. I originally found this bug while running a VIA EPIA-10000G, but am now experiencing the same results. (In reply to comment #1) > Does `splash_manager -c demo -t gentoo` work? Nope, same Error, dmesg: fbsplashd.stati[3044]: segfault at fffff4eefffff4e6 ip 4ea645 sp 7fff2a16dd40 error 4 in fbsplashctl[400000+19f000] > If not, could you please try to boot with splash=<options>,profile and then run > `splash_manager -c replay -t gentoo` to see whether that works? Works, I attached my /lib64/splash/cache/profile

The problem should be fixed in splashutils-1.5.4.2. Thanks for reporting it! :)
I still see this issue on amd64 with 1.5.4.2 and 1.5.4.3.

I don't seem to be able to replicate this problem. Are you sure you are using an unmodified 'gentoo' theme from splash-themes-gentoo? Also, does fbsplashd only segfault when run by splash_manager? (does it work during boot? does it work with splash_manager -c replay?). Does it segfault if you run -c demo with other themes (emergence, livecd-2007.0)?
(In reply to comment #9) > Are you sure you are using an unmodified 'gentoo' theme from > splash-themes-gentoo? No, I am using an unmodified livecd-2007.0 theme from splash-themes-livecd. > Also, does fbsplashd only segfault when run by splash_manager? > (does it work during boot? I don't think so, the splash is painted, but no progress, no icons, sits at 0%, doesn't respond to F2, etc., and no vt switch occurs. > does it work with splash_manager -c replay?). Huh, I went to try, rebooted with SPLASH_PROFILE="yes" in /etc/conf.d/splash, and now it works correctly, progress, icons, etc. But now that it's up my /lib/splash/cache/profile is still empty. And commenting out SPLASH_PROFILE, doesn't break it again, it's still working...maybe something gets written or created only when SPLASH_PROFILE is defined that is needed? > Does it segfault if you run -c demo with other themes (emergence, > livecd-2007.0)? Can't test now that it's working :) Let me know if you want me to break it again somehow for further troubleshooting.

Do you get a valid (i.e. non-empty) profile file when you add 'profile' to your 'splash=' setting on the kernel command line instead of setting SPLASH_PROFILE to 'yes' in /etc/conf.d/splash? > > Does it segfault if you run -c demo with other themes (emergence, > > livecd-2007.0)? > > Can't test now that it's working :) Let me know if you want me to break it > again somehow for further troubleshooting. Well, if you can figure out a way to break it again, it would probably help me fix a bug in splashutils :) So, if you can break it again, we'll try to figure out what the problem is, and otherwise we can just close this bug as WORKSFORME, unless someone can come up with a way to reproduce the problem.
