hello all, i'm using the livecd-2007 splash (purple icons) and a modified version where i changed the background images and some smaller gfx things. i recognized that "media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.3" in conjunction with "sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.1" and "sys-apps/openrc-0.5.2-r2" does not show icons anymore. i tried both themes with parallel startup enabled and disabled. so i cant't say if this would also happen on a baselayout-1.x based system. also i don't know if this is splashutils related maybe the theme is just outdated? iirc this problem appeared already in the past, but i'm not quite sure. if you need any further information, please let me know. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.3, sys-apps/openrc-0.5.2-r2, sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.1 and media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd-2007.0 2. generate splash and reboot Actual Results: experience no icons Expected Results: experience icons "emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-i686-Intel-R-_Atom-TM-_CPU_330_@_1.60GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.5.2-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="candy ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_COMPRESS="bzip2" PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS="-9" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/xbmc-overlay /usr/local/portage/cwiid-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa avahi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo cddb cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt dbus dri dts dvd dvdr eds emboss encode evo fam fbcondecor fbsplash firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gpm hal iconv jpeg jpeg2k laptop libnotify libsamplerate lm_sensors mad mikmod minimal mmx modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png policykit ppds pppd python qt3support quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg symlink sysfs syslog tcpd theora threads thunar tiff truetype unicode usb v4l2 vdpau vorbis win32codecs x264 x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS "

Sorry, my bad :) What I meant was 'outdated', not 'updated'. In other words, the theme you're using should work just fine. > it's a bit strange, because the same theme worked before upgrading to > baselayout-2.01. a friend of mine uses exactly the same setup, but not > baselayout-2.01. he is still at 2.0. at his system the icons are shown > properly. Could you please boot your system with 'profile' added to the splash options on the kernel command line (e.g. splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0,profile)? This will generate the /lib/splash/cache/profile file during boot. Please attach this file to the bug so that I can have a look at it.

These files look stale. Could you please do the following: 1) make sure there is nothing mounted at /lib/splash/cache (just run `mount` and look for that path) 2) if it is, umount it 3) remove all the files in /lib/splash/cache 4) reboot with the profile parameter. If the profile file is there, attach it. If not, please paste the directory listing for /lib/splash/cache just like you did above.

i just deleted the hidden files, too. now the directory is completely empty, but a reboot didn't result in any new files.
good news. after i removed everything in "/lib/splash/cache" and re-emerging splashutils, the icons appeared again. also a profile got created, please see attached. thanks for you support! :) just one more question. i set fadein in my bootloader. this results in some kind of flickering while fadein is processed and the icons appear at the same time. anything i could do about that?
Created attachment 212401 [details, diff] A patch to enforce saving of the profile file. Could you please put this file into the files/ subdirectory in /usr/portage/media-gfx/splashutils, then replace your splashutils ebuild with the one attached in my next comment, and reemerge splashutils (you might need to run ebuild splashutils-1.5.4.3.ebuild manifest before). After reinstalling splashutils, please reboot and see whether any files are saved in the cache.
Created attachment 212403 [details] Modified splashutils ebuild.
Created attachment 212404 [details] profile from "/lib/splash/cache"

Are you using a splash initramfs image?

i'm gonna file a new bug, since this is not really related to the original topic.
