Bug 97555 – splashutils does not have a working progressbar

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Matt Eaton 2005-06-30 17:31:15 UTC]

With splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1

I get an empty progressbar with the emergence theme.
With the livecd theme, it just says "Initializing kernel"





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge splashutils and splash-themes-gentoo
2. install emergence theme in grub.conf
3. reboot



Actual Results:  
A nice looking splash screen, but shows an empty progressbar that does not
update (ever).


Expected Results:  
Working progressbar.

Please paste your /proc/cmdline or the kernel command line options from grub.

[Comment 2 Matt Eaton 2005-06-30 18:16:57 UTC]

/proc/cmdline :
root=/dev/hda1 video=vesafb:ywrap,1280x1024-32@75
splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

(I'm using vesafb-tng)

Also, I don't know if this is related, but looking back at the console after
starting up, I notice this in the startup messages:
/etc/init.d/splash: line 25: splash_setup: command not found 

[Comment 3 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2005-07-01 05:50:02 UTC]

This is definitely related. Could you please try remerging splashutils? It looks
like /sbin/splash-funtions.sh is missing on your system.

[Comment 4 Matt Eaton 2005-07-01 09:33:06 UTC]

Re-emerging splashutils fixed it. I'm pretty sure splash-functions.sh wasn't
there the first time around. Works now though. Thanks!

Ok, closing the bug.
