Description Aaron Lewis 2011-03-29 08:14:46 UTC

Hi,
   If user had Tuxonice User Interface installed , and willing to launch it during hibernation process , it will need to be included into ramdisk , and the directly path for storing this binary program  should be here:  /sys/power/tuxonice/user_interface/program

Thus gentookit should export another two parameter: 
1. --tuxonice to allow user include splash ui
2. --tuxonice-splashfile to let user specify exact location of splash file , in case kernel procfs doesn't provide one

Here i provided a sample script , which is tested on:
sys-apps/tuxonice-userui-1.0
sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.37

And genkernel: sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.15


Reproducible: Always

I've been suffering from this problem for a while , if i don't include splash files , each time i resume , i'll receive kernel messages like "can't execute /sbin/tuxonice_fbsplash" or so , it's just simple fixing.
