Occasionally during the boot process the progressbar of the splash screen jumps backwards to 28%. This is using splashutils-1.1.9.3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system with silent splash. Actual Results: Occasionally progress bar jumps backward to 28%. Expected Results: Progressbar should only move forward. I do not know how the progress bar gets its percentage, but a guess would be that the parallel startup option in /etc/conf.d/rc contributes to this effect. Let's say two services start at roughly the same time though service 2 is technically started after service 1. Service 2 completes quickly and so the splash is updated appropriately. Then service 1 is completed and the splash is updated. I am guessing this is how the backwards jumping of the progress bar is happening.

bug #87557 is also a duplicate of this one. The problem is not there when disabling parallel startp of init scripts. I also think t's not the case with older splashutils. I have other problems also. at some point of the boot the backround becomes black. I have to go to verbose mode and back to silent to see te background again. (the progress bar doesn't disappear though). Another problem, I can't go back from verbose mode to silent mode with F2 key, I have to use Alt+F8, even though I have evdev compiled in kernel. Las problem is the error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /lib/splash/cache, or too many mounted file systems

There first two issues will hopefully be fixed in the next release of splashutils-gentoo. As for problem no. 3, please paste the output of: `for i in /sys/class/input/event* ; do echo -n "$i: " ; cat $i/device/driver/description ; done` Are there any other error messages besides the 'wrong fs type' thing? Is the splash cache dir (/lib/splash/cache) mounted as a tmpfs anyway (even though the error message seems to indicate that it isn't)? Can you mount a tmpfs on /lib/splash/cache manually by: mount -n -t tmpfs cachedir /lib/splash/cache -o rw,mode=0644,size=4096k
OK, first that command for event* outputs: /sys/class/input/event0: AT and PS/2 keyboard driver /sys/class/input/event1: PS/2 mouse driver Second: the wrong fs type is the only error i have noticed, and i actually see it only when i run `/sbin/rc default` or something like that. In any case the cachedir IS mounted as tempfs automatically: $ mount | grep splash cachedir on /lib/splash/cache type tmpfs (rw)
By the way F2 for toggling between verbose and silent DOES work only on shutdown, but not on boot...
Could you please paste the output of `grep EVDEV /usr/src/linux/.config` and make absolutely, completely and totally sure that the event device support is compiled into the kernel and not as a module? The fact that it works only while rebooting seems to indicate that evdev is a module.. Why would you want to run /sbin/rc "default" manually?
$ grep EVDEV /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y and just in case: $ locate evdev /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.6/drivers/input/evdev.c /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.6/drivers/input/evdev.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.6/drivers/input/.evdev.o.cmd /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.6/include/config/input/evdev.h so i have no such module - it has to be compiled in kernel. running `/sbin/rc default` is for changing the runlevel i'm on. not something I do very often, but when i did that i noticed the error.
The 'wrong fs type' and 'jumping progress bar' problems should be fixed in splashutils-1.1.9.4. Please open new bugs for any remaining issues or add comments here if one of these two problems is still present.
> silent splash progressbar jumps backwards occasionally This problem has come back in >=media-gfx/splashutils-1.4.1
Does it happen every time, or is it more random? Do it happen at a specific point during boot? How far does the progress bar jump back? Do you have RC_PARALLEL set to 'yes' in /etc/conf.d/rc?

Could you please check whether this is still an issue with splashutils-1.4.2.1?
At this moment > How far does the progress bar jump back? at booting - 0 YEAH! at shutdowning - 34% (37% -> 3%), and often freeze on 73-85%%
Reopening since the shutdown is apparently not fixed yet.
Created attachment 124024 [details] more actual info about system
And I have several mount/umount operations with loop devices (iso-images) in /etc/init.d/local
Is this still a problem with splashutils-1.5 and baselayout-2.0.0_rc2-r1? If yes, has anything changed since the last splashutils release?
