Eh? What "runlevel link" does it remove? You need to add services to runlevels, they are never added automatically. it was in the default run level. I had to run rc-update add splash default after this upgrade to reinstate it. The link from /etc/runlevels/default/splash to /etc/init.d/splash was removed. splash was no longer executed during init which meant that the graphics were not preserved on the console. I I don't see how this could have been caused by splashutils.. Are you able to reproduce the problem? Does remerging splashutils cause 'splash' to be removed from the default runlevel? I don't either. I do know that I first noticed this after emerging the splas-hthemes-livecd (2006.0) which is slotted. After emerging, I did the splash_geninitramfs command to create a new initrd image for the 2006.0 theme. Then, on the next boot, the fbsplash messages during boot never showed. snip... fbsplash: console 0 using theme 'livecd-2006.0' fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 0 fbsplash: console 1 using theme 'livecd-2006.0' fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 1 fbsplash: console 2 using theme 'livecd-2006.0' fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 2 I noticed then that splash had been removed from the default run level and had to be reinstated with rc-update add splash default. I tried unmerging both packages, but cannot duplicate this problem. Is there anything else in init which could remove a run level item? Did the prior version of splashutils 1.1.9.8 install it? (this package is no longer in portage so I cannot repeat the upgrade to 1.1.9.8-r1). Anyway, it might be worthwhile to add a comment that if the user wants to have the verbose image on the console after boot, to add splash to the default run level (or should it be the boot runlevel?) Sorry I cannot provide more detailed information, but however this occured, it was not from me doing rc-update del splash. May as well close this. I cannot duplicate, but also can't discover why splash was removed from the default runlevel. Whenever the next update occurs, I'll watch more carefully. Sorry I could not be more specific. can't duplicate for the time being. Will revisit when new updates are available for splashutils. |
